With the current price of Ravens it would never come off my wall. There's plenty of good users out there.

Columbus Axe had to make a totally custom handle for this one, head was in great shape. This is a center bevel axe.

Nice axe. What's going on with the fawn's foot?

Somebody abused it. A big chunk is missing but the handle seems solid. Not sure if its original to the axe or not. The axe is a little on the heavy side for personal preference but had great patina. I probably won't use it much.

I like it when they don't cut the kerf.

Moose, did you cut a kerf and put in a wedge? Or do you just pin it?

you guys have been keeping busy with some nice axes, i finally found some time to get my black prince boys axe on a new haft. 28" house handle with a cherry wedge. first time using a hart wood handle, its a little harder to whittle down to reshape it but it has good grain orientation so im sure it will work just fine.

Beautiful!!!
Nice work nooby!
I bought a handle for this Norlund double-bit nessmuk hatchet. Cut it down a couple of inches and thinned it out.
What's the length of that handle now? and the Weight?

Took my 3lb 2oz Keen Kutter Jersey Pattern off its old 27" straight octagonal handle and put it on a longer handle I designed myself:
31.5" total, offset to center balancepoint, straight octagonal that transitions into a rounded, slightly angled fawn's foot handle:
Nice and slim with good alignment:
Really just love how thin this bit is while still having that high centerline. The grain orientation on the blank I used was perfect too:
