6 years on, my Fiskars I put a wooden handle on is still going strong! All time favourite and most used axe when I get out in the forest, or even carving in the workshop. If you have the skills to do it, you will not be disappointed.

Hoping to ID this 4 1/2 pound racing (?) head
Picked this up from a rubbish pile.
So far I've given it a bit of a soak in molasses and cleaned up the cutting edge. There's the faintest remains of a logo. Can anyone identify it for me?

Weird Plumb axe ID
Found on eBay, it’s a Plumb “42”. listed about 4lbs. Just really curious about the wierd head shape and if anybody has any info about it, couldn’t find anything reverse image searching.

Crack Through Back of Head, Is It Scrap?
I picked up a couple of old Walters axes for a bargain, but unfortunately in the dim light of the barn I didn't notice that the back of the head on one of them had a fracture running through it. I'm assuming it's a lost cause, but figured I'd post and see if there was anything to be done about it.

Axe Makers and Social Media Censorship - Issues?
hi! My husband is an axe maker (www.downingarts.com) and we're wondering if there is anything on Facebook or Instagram etc that limits or blocks the reach of his posts due to it seeming like a "weap on" ... any thoughts on this? He's been stuck at a couple thousand followers for years now and we're wondering if that might have something to do with it. Thanks!

Vintage handle didn't hold up...
I figured it wouldn't last because of a knot in the wood....New handle time. What a splitter though.

Just finished carving and fitting
Made the handle from scratch after the one one split this one ain’t breaking any time soon it’s rough and rugged but it’s made from a log so it’s cool though I would post this
