The beginning
Another little project.
This summer I found in my fathers garden shed an axe without a handle. It was pretty rusty. I cleaned it with a metal brush and saw this:
The stamp says that it was made in 1982:
I thought it would be nice to make a new handle.
For a handle a took this board.
Drawing the future handle shape
I thought it was maple, but it was dark in a room and later I understood it was beech.
Sawing the shape on a bandsaw
Sawing the chicks (for I was going to make a 3d knob on a handle end)
Rough shaping with a diy tool
I made this tool from a file
