Nice job Aaron those really cleaned up beautifully and I love your handles they are very uniform.  Bet your Dad and brothers couldn't wait to chop something with them.

 Thanks guys. 

Yeah BJ, they were all volunteering to go get some kindling.  :D

Clint, I started off by cleaning off all the rust and loose debris using a wire cup wheel on an electric angle grinder.  Then I cleaned up the mushroomed edges and rid them of any pitting using a pneumatic angle grinder.  Then I took them to the belt sander to get even grind marks.  After that, I just sanded then by hand using finer and finer emery cloth until I was using a scotch bright pad.

Wow those look great Aaron. I don't think a guy could walk into any store and buy hatchets that nice, the handles and sheaths make them unlike any other you could find. Beautiful work and cool gifts.
