I have had a 19' Wetterling large hunter for about 7 months and have had some great fun with her. Here are some pics of the use.

Great hatchet, little off on the fit and finish. More coming.
 
All gummed up from the fatwood.

I reground the top edge of the bit to smooth it out, and got most of the scale off. Way more than on the little Husqie. I convexed the edge up to 1000 grit on the grinder, then went to the strop for a razor. She came out pretty nice. Since I did not take the handle off, I used my dremel for most of the work. Took me about an hour 20 minutes to do it. Thanks for lookin. :D
 
Shinny is nice, but I will keep the "road kill" look on my Small Hunting Axe when I get it.
 
Nice makeover on the axe. Looks like you could get a few dozen knife handles out of that antler.
