I found this fire axe head that was badly rusted. It seemed like the perfect candidate for my next restoration. I wanted to do an axe re-handling / restoration, but I am not confident enough in my woodworking skills yet to make my own handle. Because of this, I decided to buy a quality fire axe handle to practice fitting the head onto it for this restoration. I plan on doing another axe restoration where I make my own handle sometime in the near future if anyone's interested in seeing that process.
I thought it turned out pretty well, but the handle didn't fit as snug as I wanted on the top of the axe because so much material had been eaten away by the rust. If there wasn't so much material lost to rust, I wouldn't have used the steel wedge. The head is still secured very safely, though, so I'm not too worried. This axe head isn't going to fly off any time soon.
