SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[XP_Slinger]

I don't blame you. I would love to find one from Blue Grass Hardware with Bluegrass design.

Bluegrass are darn near as expensive as collecting Norlunds. I had a real nice single bit I handled, gave it to my sister for Christmas.

Yea I know. I think we had a conversation a while back and I was going to offer my Dodge 3500 but you said it was spoken for. Nice find.

AJ...if you buy a gallon and submerge your ax in a tub for 2 days almost all of that deep rust in those pits will come off. Just FYI if you want to get more off of it.

If you get ready to sale handles let me know. I will put one of yours on one or maybe all. With your signature sign.

Thankyou that would be fantastic

Everything about the Bluegrass sounds good the name , the look the styles of heads , history And the advertising always looked pretty darn good

It’s not your normal axe. Here’s a adze that I cleaned up. Been on the front porch for years. Found out from my research I think it’s over 100 years old. Wrong handle but that’s the way I found it.

 

[ajschainsaws]

This is the handle I think

 

[ajschainsaws]

put That handle in this unbranded double bit a nice heavyweight splitter this a good fat handle too match

We had the low pressure come over last week bringing in rain
from the Atlantic so it’s cooled down considerably

Just set up an old Keen Kutter for a wedge banger ,did not weigh it ,but feels about 3.5 lbs ,got the 28 inch handle from House handles ,stripped the varnish off and thinned the grip area so can hold one handed like a big hammer ,burnt it and wiped down with blo .

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Bryan. Big large head. Cant miss the wedges when you swing. Lol

I have one shaped like that ,splits firewood pretty good .

I'd be afraid to split firewood with a double bit Ax. Just me.

It's not the weight that splits with a double bit ,it's the momentum ,they swing real nice ,unless i have real limby knotty wood ,i grab the double bit first ,then the arvika if need a little more power ,if that don't do it it gets tossed to the side for the gas log splitter .
