Greetings Y’all after a long break, I ve not been around for a quiet some time due to some health issues, please accept my apologies. In this project ,I ve restored a old made axe. Initially the axe weight 1650 gr by the time I ve finished the project , it came down to 1500gr. I decided to sanblasted first. In order to make it mirror polished ,I had to file it by electric equipments and by hand. I lasered the emblem and the date which was faded in the first place to the same spot and I enlarged the emblem a bit. Big thanks to @leonartatelier for assisting me with the laser work. Also thanks to @byOldHand assisting me with sharpening the axe. I thought it be good idea to use padouk for the handle since it is used to make musical instruments because the echoing sound of the axe seemed to me as it comes from an instrument. I fitted the geometrical parts of the axe into the handle so it has gained an aesthetical look. I had planned 70 or 80 cm for the handle however I figured 75 cm would be better during the process. I was assisted by @sanlicraft for the leather accessories, many thanks to him. I did not want to have a leather case only, I also wanted to have a leather shoulder strap so I can get around with it in the woods. I d thought it d be a short project but it took 30 days in order for me to complete all the process. All of my efforts worthed at the end since the final product looks pretty cool.
