The axe is great Brian, a guy just can't have too many friends, I will look him up.
So as some of us do I watch YouTube. There is a small channel that I have watched for a while now and the gentleman that runs it just made a logo for his channel. To make a long story short my wife runs an embroidery business so I asked her to make him some shirts and hats. In return he said he wanted to send me an axe. I saw pictures of it and thought it may be a Collins Hudson Bay pattern. It came in yesterday and it was a very old LL Bean. Had the original sheath also. Pretty crappy sheath to be honest but it’s original. This axe really blew me away and I had not expected anything in return at all. Channel is Joes Shop. Go check him out! Mainly old tool restorations. Thanks for looking!
The whole picture is just eye candy. Looks like a fine Washita and could I ask what stone is hiding under it? Sorry for the off topic I just can't help myself.
