This was found by a friend whilst metal dating a farm that has been in use since about 1790 in one form or another but this axe is most likely mid 19th century.
This is my mid 1800's hewing axe it was giving to me by a customer of mine. Im goin make a historically accurate on site replacement handle out of Osage most likely. I will be using it to hew logs for my house .
This I a stone axe I made for a birthday gift for my boss I don't sell anything ,when I'm inspired to make something for a friend it's given simply as a gift . I also have a pic of of a cigar box guitar I made for my boss recently ,I get enough people that ask I'll post a pic of it as well. Ps the handle is iron wood
The 1. Axe has a Osage handle, and copper strike guard. I gave it to a friend for Christmas a few years back . The 2. Axe has a oak handle ,the oak came from a beam that was replaced in a 200 year old church in wv.
