Maris Arents Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Haven't been there for a long time. Wanted to show some of my axes. Design is inspired by francisca and viking styles, mix between two. Material is spring steel with elm handle. Edited February 19 by Maris Arents 3 AXEholic.

Ryan Hobbs Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Very nice! The francisca socket has always looked cool to me. Do you find elm works well as a handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Lester Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Very clean looking work. They look like they would make you want to go chop some wood, almost. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yes, elm works really good. Oak is too brittle, ash is ok, if grain orentation is good. 1 AXEholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua States Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Beautiful work. “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

Hoy's Forge Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Love them ! How well do they throw ? Have you tried ? www.hoyfamily.net Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.Lu 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Mr 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
