Carving axe
« on: March 16, 2018, 05:49:00 pm »
I am looking for a nice carving axe.  I have leather, beaver tails (in about a month will have about 30), nice bamboo quad splitter  I'm sure I have other stuff- any interest?  Let me know if you have an extra one and what it will take.

Jeff, when I get home I'll send you some pictures of the Granfors I have.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Did you ever get the axe you wanted?

A small elbow adze is way better for carving.

tried to PM you but couldn't, said your inbox is full.  I have the one pictured below I might be willing to part with if your still looking.  I'm more of a large knife person.  It's a great tool though.  The offer goes to other folks as well, I'd be willing to let it go for other stuff if HoBow doesn't want/need it.

I never heard back from Jeff either, even though he has been 3 miles from my house twice. I no longer have the ax I offered.

Nice job re-purposing a roofing hatchet. A friend is doing just about the same thing right now with one he picked up at a garage sale last summer for 50 cents.
