@Catbuster I got the 8 kinda as a lark

The longer thinner bit than the fe6 sticks more

I think it will make a decent 1 swing limber


It could also be considered a blank slate to make whatever you want….

Got some council 28” banger handles

Did you personally select them? Grain orientation is pretty good.

Yes, but the others were not far off.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about Council Tool releasing a 4lb ish wedge banger based on their 5lber?

Rooster from Council had mentioned they were working on back in June.

Today’s finds

20lb Thor hammer

Weird kindling splitter

What I think is a Woodslasher

And a little council head

 

[chiselbit]

Little? Council head? Thing looks huge

The red one on the handle is prolly 4lb, I think slasher

The black one is around 3lb I think. Might add a chunk to the poll to make it a banger.

I’ve been using that 6 lb council fire ax that you modified for me, I’m really liking it.

Still holding out on Council Tool to see what they come out with for a lighter weight wedge banger, otherwise I have been thinking about adding a bit more poll weight and width to something around 3lbs with 26-28" straight handle.

I have seen some nice custom axes being offered but I am not one to be dropping $300+ to pound wedges.

I have one or more 4lb 28@ bangers if you want one.

A 28” Tennessee hickory

I think I might try some 32s from House and or Beavertooth

 

[chiselbit]

I’d like to try a 32 I think they would be the perfect length

Thank you for the offer,

I sat and bs d with Rooster from Council Tool about wedge bangers at a GTG back in June, going off what he said at that bs session he thought they might have a 4ish lb based on their 5lb wedge banger around Oct-Dec of this year.

Are you coming to the Mn GTG in Dec as a winter getaway?
