This is another axe I made out of an old re-purposed steel head. After I cut the head down to the size I wanted, I polished the rust off of the head, cold-blued, and mustard-treated it. Handle is made out of a piece of Birdseye Maple from an old school gym. Overall length of the axe is 16 in. If I had it to do over again, I would probably shorten the handle. This size axe is very sturdy for chopping wood and driving steel stakes. Total cost...3-4 hrs. labor (I'm slow - LOL)Hope you enjoy.
