Axe Restoration Project: Planning

It was over a year ago I posted about wanting to own a great axe someday, and I believe that day has finally come.

Over the last year, however, I’ve matured and decided buying an over-priced axe from Best Made Company is not the way to go. Instead, I was able to find an old axe for $10 at the Weekend Pickers Indoor Flea Market for me to restore.

Mary knew about this guide on How to Restore an Axe and I can hardly wait to get started.

My Dream Axe

For some time now, I have wanted to own a really nice axe. I’m not sure exactly what I’d do with it aside from look at it, but there’s something really great about having a nice axe hanging on my future workshop wall.

Best Made Company makes some of the finest axes around, so here are a few of my favorite axes and axe accessories I will one day own.

Lumberjacks

As my beard grows longer and the weather gets colder, I always start thinking more about lumberjacks. Around this time last year, I made a lumberjack painting. Here’s some far superior lumberjack art and also my own illustration at the bottom.
