I've been attempting axe making lately. I've made a few but this is my first time working with round stock. This is the result.

This one is actually going to a raffle. A young man I know is going for his Eagle Scout badge and is having a fundraiser to raise the money to build his project. I made this and am going to set up an axe throwing booth.
He's going to raffle this off or have a silent auction for the axe.

As for selling some, not sure if I can advertise on this forum since I'm not a gold member. I'll have to find that out. The other thing is, this is made frome A36 steel, which is a mild carbon steel. Basicly solid Iron. Don't get me wrong, it's a strong axe, just not high carbon.
 
good luck on the raffle"bet it does well",sometimes i spat off at the mouth before i know better about the rules,sorry if i overstepped my bounds,just your hawks have that mohawk look too me i like,i think is what i would call it.good luck.

No worries, I do the same thing. I'm not on this forum enough to know the rules, even though I've been a memeber for a while now. I shoot you a PM.


To everyone else, thanks for the compliments, they're very much 'ppreciated!
 
Nice work. I like long narrow heads very much. Did you use 1 inch round stock? What is the oal and the length and width of the head?
BTW, you do have to upgrade to at least gold to do business on here. I really have to upgrade myself.

Regards

Yeah, I thought that was the case.

As for the measurements, I forgot to take them before I let it go into the raffle box. But roughly, overall is about 7", poll is about an inch, the spine is close to about 4 1/2" with a cutting about 2 1/2"- 2 3/4", something like that.
 
I'm really a fan of that collar on it, compact and well rounded. Any ideas what kind of designs you may try in the future?
