Title: lil axe
Post by: backtowood B2W on January 06, 2020, 10:20:57 am

finally I finished this. The handle is made of purple leaf plum which had to dry before I wrapped the raw hide strip around.
nothing great but you can definitely break some nuts....I didn't´use it on the coconut but cut down some living bushes....it works.
Can imagine to use it for scraping raw hide or green wood as well.
One time I wanna make a bow with Stone Age tools, this is my first step - building  tools.

Nice little axe. I like the tools. It's seems we always think about points. But tools are what really made us what we are.
