Master craftsman.
« on: April 03, 2011, 09:35:36 pm »
My good friend Poul Kristensen from Denmark who is an excellent black smith made this ax. It is a replica of the Mammen ax, an ax from Viking times more than a thousand years old. The white lines and dots are silver laid into the steel.

That's incredible.  You gotta respect the patience, determination, and skill that it would take to make a work of art like that.  The man obviously knows his stuff!!

I never thought an ax could be a work of art, but that one sure is.  Beautiful.

Stunning piece of metalwork!  His title is well earned and deserved...more pics of his work or that Camp setup would be great!  I really like the appearance & flexibility of that canvas shelter with the adjusting boards, great idea.
