Title: Restored carpenters hatchet

Hi guys, thought I would post some pics of a carpenters hatchet I just brought back to life for  roughing staves. Handle is Cedar Wattle.

No, I have no more Osage to rough out. I may go and get some more this weekend though. I am also going to cut down a tea tree that grows along the creek at my hunting property with the view of harvesting game with it when seasoned. Steve

Hi CherokeeKC, Cedar Wattle is an Australian Acacia.
