Re: Axe head restoration
a bit of an update, a couple of days of mild cleaning (no power tools or harsh chemicals involved)
Revels that its a Brades Co Axe head which pre dates it 1951 there are some areas of pitting but there's an area that looks like badly pitting however this is was left by the cast when the axe was made.
I think I've gone as far as I want to with it and due to its weight I wont be using it (to heavy for my pack)
so I guess I will be moving it on.

Re: Axe head restoration
I can understand why 7LBs is a tad on the heavy side to lump around on a pack but it almost seems a shame not to put a handle and an edge on it even if it is a stay at home jobbie. Perhaps that's just me not wanting to see tools unused .
Re: Axe head restoration
Like yourself I'm a practical type of fella, who would rather a tool be used than have sat in a shed awaiting the day that I might need such an axe, this being said, Its already been claimed and the fine details are still being worked out, it will be re hung and re edged, so rest assured it will go to a good home and be used as nature intended.
all the best "H"
