Found this jewel at a yard sale yesterday, along with a couple other things. Spent yesterday afternoon cleaning it up, I think I'm gonna be proud of it when I'm finished...... :)

Put it together:)  Looking good so far. Polish the head some more , stain the handle, add a lanyard and a belt sheath, and I think I'm gonna like it alot  ;D

polished the head some more and put some stain on the handle........ It's coming along nicely  :) Couple more coats of stain, some poly , and it's gonna be looking fine  ;D

Sa, Post a pic of yours if you get a chance. I love old axes , hatchets, hammers, knives, ....... well you know how it is  ;D
