It followed me home (Part 2)

Damn that's amazing JB!

It was $2 at an estate sale. I grabbed it on price alone, and was thrilled after the fact to see what it was. I love the thrill of seeking and finding treasure. That's why I look for all that I do. I'm addicted to the hunt.

I'm convinced that is what's behind a lot of activities (even searching on Google sometimes :o ), in our genes from the hunter/gatherer days.
 
I managed to leave Pete and Bruce's area of the flea market without any new cutting tools today. Passed on a nice 'cast steel' claw hatchet because I wanted to cut it down into a shepherd's axe, and knew I wouldn't be able to ruin such a nicely marked little beauty. Lots of really nice bucking saws, the ones with the 'fancy' teeth. No. Need. Stop making me WANT things!!
 
Cool I wish I could get my hands on a Keech.

I emailed the company and got a response back, but haven't heard back since I gave them info for a shipping quote. I got lucky and spotted this for sale by an individual. If you email Keech Castings,, I'm sure you can get one.

Instead of just words about the Pitch Fork I figured a picture would be a good thing.

Terrific axe. Hardly used.

Yeah it was kind of weird i was the only bidder getting it for $40 plus $10 postage.
The strange thing is, I've seen badly mushroomed and very worn st catharines heads sell for 60 plus postage and mashed hatchets for 50. But this is a charleston made axe especially hard to come by in Aus.
Not sure what happened but no one noticed it but me.
 
That's an absolutely fantastic Kelly. Looks like the original haft, and has very little wear. Excellent, excellent find. Congrats.
