My wife has been working from home the last 3 weeks so I've spent as much time in the garage as I can. I've done a lot of organizing and clean up and piddlin' really.
I have a 5 gallon bucket full of hatchet, axe, hammer and sledge and maul heads. Most all are roached pretty bad. Whenever I can find handles cheap I'll get a couple and eventually mate them.
I came across a few hatchet handles at the flea a few weeks back and decided to do a couple hatchets.
One I did a quick polish on the head and funky pattern on the handle, the other I blued the head and a teak oil finish on the handle.
My Dad is more of a traditionalist so I gave him the more conservative of the two and I'll hang onto the other for work around the house.
