Description

At last, I finished it !

A modest tribute to the art of Jake Powning -> [link]

I started from the head of an axe I bought in a "brocante" (second-hand market).. It was all rusted, and even if I wanted it to be usable again, I didn't want to give it a mirror aspect : It has a story and I choose to respect it. So I only grind some part that were unesthetic, made a file rope work, and sharpped it razzor like ^^

Then I make the handle. I started from a broken beech pickaxe handle, I cut it and gave it an axe handle form. Then, I carved it... (about 15hours of work, since it was my first one ^^)

This part done, I could get involved with the pommel. I use a steelsheet of about 1mm, cut it, and give it the desired form with a hammer ^^ It was a tough job !

In the end, it took me about 30 hours to finish it.

I hope you will enjoy this little axe ^^
