old hatchet(new pic)

(1/4) > >>

SA:
i rescued this old hatchet  head from an antique store today for $3 (there was a couple more think i'll go back and get) . so when i got home today i sharpened and made a handle for it , the handle is post oak salvaged from a stave that checked real bad.
  i really like these old hatchets ,does anyone else use them or restore them ?  if so post some pics i would like to see.

bowtarist:
That's really nice sa.  I've salvaged a few axes/hatchets and hammers.  The last one I bought a handle for  :-[  That's a great looking handle there; looks long too.  Great job. dpgratz

     Yes indeedy, when I go to flea markets, that is one of the things, I look for, and old files, other tools.  You can grind, or cut, a nice tomahawk out of that, even drill out the hammer peen, and have a peace pipe type of tomahawk. ;)  You did a good job on the handle, looks nice. 8)

beautiful job on restoring that hatchet!  I also look for old tools when I go to flea markets.. they don't make them like they used to  that's for sure!  Old tools are always better made.  :)
