I was inspired by Lin Rhea's work and decided to give it a whirl myself. I was also lucky enough to make it down to Little Rock to see how he does it. I've only made a couple, but I figure it out a bit more each time. This one is mild steel with a 5160 bit and has a curly maple handle. Now I just need to get back out in the woods and chop on some stuff.

I'm really liking that Maple....what did you do for a finish on it? The whole package looks great.

You are a quick learner, and Lin is a great teacher. Handsome axe, that one!
