wood billet work

RickB:
Nice work Mike. I believe most ax handles are made of nice and hard hickory. Rick B

Chippintuff:
Hawk, when I first started ding it this way I got it a little too close to center line, and yes it did talk to me. Now It goes under my thigh about half way out toward my knee. It is the simplest and most convenient way I have found.

swataramike:
well i broke a pick axe yesterday...was about to burn the handle in my wood stove then i felt like trying somthing different saw an earlier video marty rueter did with a wood punch all i did was round the one end of the pick axe handle then i took the one end and wedged it into the ground...tried using a moose billet for a striker but was not getting enough force so we just cut some apple trees and i cut the base off and used it as a striking baton..make sense...but as i stated earlier i want to tie it under my leg because the angle felt wrong as in to steep...compared to antler...the platforms are different once again could have ended up with a larger piece to finish but it took me about 10 strikes to figure out the platforms....
