Was that head hung upside down? Looks GREAT now!
No, it came like that.Love those Roselli axes. I have an antique precursor to them, the Kellokoski 12.3.
Really like the looks of that Rinaldi as well. Did you make the haft?
Nice job! I'm thinking about getting a nice felling axe. 4-6lb head.
I've read that many times, that the bit needed thinning. I have a GB Wildlife hatchet. Great hatchet. Thinking of getting the mini, but damn they're pricey.
Nice. I keep picking up those old Hulks Bruks whenever I see them at garage sales. Think I’m up to 4 now.
It is a cool ax. I need to grind the edge on it, and oil it up. Noticed it was getting a bit of rust on it. When I used it to fell that tree at the cabin, I got some chips in the blade. I got the special grade from Ben, but wished I hadn't done that. Sharp yes, but the edge was too thin. It makes an unusual sound on impact. Because it's a slip fit handle, it makes a pinging sound. It does bring out your inner viking using it, haha.still love the look of that rinaldi
