That's a great looking Hudson Bay pattern!
Is that a forge welded bit or oodles of temper seen there?
And he strikes again with another beautiful dark oak haft! Red or white oak?
And is that resin I see? To help fill in the missing wood!
I've used a two part epoxy resin a couple times. It works really well for filling in broken pieces of tongue. I haven't had to take any of those apart yet and I'm not really looking forward to it. NOT gonna be easy to get apart...
Hey man and thanks! I am in love with these old oak handles and i WISH i knew if either were red or white. I just dont know how i can differentiate now...i need bark and leaves lol!
No, i didnt use resin, just left the gap and crevace open lol!. Those pics are still a little damp from the that mornings spa soak in BLO.
The patina on this axe after just a little clean and wipe was great. I hit with a wheel lightly and hit the shroomed pole. Thats a temper line that goes for miles doesnt it? Lol!
Not sure when, but hopefully next week...I have one more 28" oak haft that I want to marry to this Old Timer Legitimus Connecticut resting in my connie box
