That came out very nice!
What did you use on the head it looks good.

I have one sitting against my wall I bought for around 10bucks with coupons and discounts and have been meaning to work on it.
On my copy the top is stamped 2 1/4 and does not say made in Germany on it.
Rings like a bell when you tap it though and can split pretty good.
Maybe if I give it a makeover I will use it.
 
Square_peg Thanks, that is I think 5 coats of Minwax ebony then some Old English Red Oil rubbed in...

cattledog Thanks, for the head I used AlumaHyde II o.d green. On the top of the head mine is stamped HW is there a stamp on yours too? If you pimp yours make sure you post up some before and after picks! ya, btw nice prince you snatched your up for! I have to do 3 more now so I need to get some coupons in the mail or online, have yet to see them at the sidewalk sale over at Harbor Freight...
 
Where do you get a Helko hatchet for 24.99? Is it Harbor Freight? I would really like one of those!
