:D Thank you Jake, after using the russian turds extensively, I must say I'm not a fan of them. They looks cool and all, but I'm not feeling...
Without a doubt ;-)
NOS Wetterlings single bevel beauty, original paper packaging too [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
absolutely. the split happened on the first birch handle i made for the smaller axe head, it did have a nasty chunk taken out from when i splitted...
Yes, I have tried it, but this time I wedged the axe out in the field, using another axe to pound the way to long wedge into the kerf.. too deep.....
My last hang of this axe didn't go too well, I stored it for a few days at a friends cabin while we were fishing, hung it on the wall behind the...
I quoted this from the "weird vintage axe, handle fail" thread, posted earlier today.
Thank you sir! Thats awesome
Thank you, making it as close to the traditional handles as i could was what i was going for! You are spot on, 1990s UPS Izhevsk

Nice axe my friend, I like this one. I think the russian and eastern european patterns scream "no rest, just hard work". I have seen that stamp...
Im glad you do friend,thank you. I have no idea, but on the parcel it said 1100g, it feels about right. Handle length will be 60cm once I wedge...
been working on a couple of birch axe handles, i got some staves from a birch which had been downed by a beaver, there is a couple of knots and...
It's actually working as it should. It removes wood, it took me a while to get the hang of it but now that I do, it's pretty amazing how...
That would probably be better, and a bit more pleasing to the eye. I got a whole box of old carriage bolts but I have not found a single nut that...
