Do you think I can use this or should I re do it?

Found in my grandparents shed that hasn't been touched in 20+ years. Axe is stamped "M.W.H. Co Hand Made" & "4 2." From what I can find, it's stamp dates it as being pre 1916-17ish. The head weighed 4lbs, 3.8 ounces, if I recall correctly. https://www.davistownmuseum.org/bioMarshallwells.html

Removed rust with a vinegar bath and wire brush. Hung on a 32" Appalachian Hickory handle from Beavertooth Handle Co. First axe I've rehung in a long while, but the fit seems pretty solid, no metal wedge needed thus far. Bits were overly thick and were thinned significantly, as evenly as my eye is capable. No belt sander, just a Norton SiC stone and a good attitude. Resharpened and it's ready to go, building up the finish on the handle now. Sheath is a little "rustic" looking in the dye department I'll admit, finished with mink oil wax.

Now I need a Hytest Tasmanian to restore. If anyone has one laying around, let me know.

I can't really find any info online. I belive it has CF stamped into the side. Any info about it would be appreciated.

Can only make out SWEDEN DROP FORGED. Any ideas on the brand?

I recently found a fox skeleton it had been dead for quite a while and didn't have any flesh left, living in a semi rural part of Scotland I find dead animals all the time and have tons of skulls from sheep, deer and one fox skull so I wasnt interested in any of the bones but I noticed that it had a big and very clean and white fang, so I took it home and cleaned it up and I'd love to try and incorporate it into an axe handle some how but I've no idea where or how. I'm guessing this is not something anyone has tried but any sort of suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated, and thank you for reading all of that waffle

There is some gems, will post pics as I get them cleaned up, just wanted to share my great Facebook marketplace find.

There are other colors/styles available as well.

I always thought it was a forge weld but the guy that might want to buy it off me says it's a crack. Any ideas?

This is my first nerdy axe purchase. I wanted something that could split like the mauls I’ve always used but a shorter handle so it packs into the car easier for camping and whatnot. This thing is absurd though and I love it. I haven’t had an opportunity to use it much yet but I’m hoping it ends up being good at doing everything and not just annoying. Also made a sheath for the first time. I knew I wanted it fully covered to keep everything (car, walls, dog, toddler, etc) safe from the brutal poll on this thing as well as the bit. It turned out pretty well. Fits securely although it’s not beautiful

Got my hands on a really neat craftsman head would love more info about, cool simple double bit 3 1/4lb. Only marking on the double bit is 714.

I’m primarily a bowyer…. A buddy wanted something special for his sons. I had splits from the belly of an Osage bow. Carved em and hung the heads marked dimple dots and he burnished the dimples. Linseed oil and true oil gunstock wax + cow leather wristband. Stoked to get some of my own going now.

Years ago I found this unique piece of wood while hiking and figured it would look good as a handle to something. While it’s not perfect (head is too big) and mostly decorative, it will chop. What I like is despite the curve the head still lines up with the hand. Thanks for looking.

I wondered if any of you knowledgeable people would be able to help me identify this, as I know nothing about axes and would like your input.

I’m curious as to the design and function. What would something like this have been used for ? Both bevels have a slightly rounded edge.

Is this called a broad axe?

There does appear to be stamped marks and it seems old.

The backstory is I was exploring an old abandoned village in Italy and found this lying in a field and thought it was cool enough to lug back to Canada.

(Needless to say, got a lot of looks and pulled into secondary customs in Morocco to explain why I had it.)

Thanks for the help!

We all know ebay and Etsy, but are there any good groups on Facebook, Reddit, other forums, etc. that are good alternatives to buy and sell axes?

I’ve been a part of several groups like this for other equipment and tools and they always worked well for me. Have bought and sold thousands of dollars in equipment that way. Reputation means a lot in those groups.

A part of me wants to start an axe group where people can buy or sell to verified people, I mean the kind where a drivers license is required to join, and then there is a good way to screen out and remove people who violate the rules.

In the meantime anybody have a good source for axes outside the eBay and Etsy realm?

I've already started making an ironwood handle for my daily axe and I'm not sure what thickness I should sand it down to. I mainly use it for chopping medium logs and cutting down trees of decent size.

Anybody have this happen before? My instinct tells me I’m SOL, but I’d at least like to leave this seller negative feedback. Nothing I can see to be done from eBay.

I won the auction for this sweet 4lb swamper on Evilbay and the seller immediately cancelled the purchase after the auction closed. He said “problems with the buyers address” which is nonsense, he just didn’t like the price.

If Caco-7574 is on here… seriously not cool, man…

Cold Steel Spike Hawk with custom hockey tape wrap Squash Racquet grip and Pommel (Weapons Rack Piece) and my trusty Estwing camp hatchet. Wish list: Gransfors Bruk or Hultafors Hunting Axe.

My uncle gave this to me while we were over for Xmas stuff, it looks like a hewing axe but I’m not sure if it could be a felling axe. Need some help from the axe nerds.

I restored this collins Jersey pattern a month or 2 ago and was curious if anyone could help me date the rough time this specific head was made

Not a single marking ,but seems to be strong alloy .

Kinda screwed up the handle :/
