Show Your Version of Hatchet/Axe
I needed a new hatchet for splitting fat lighter...
Didn't want to buy new, so I went to work restoring a small axe into my version of a hatchet..
I chose a piece of dried white/water oak from wood stack.
Used a sanding disc to form.
Derusted and painted (small)axe head
(It's been laying around for yrs)
Cured paint..winter time
Secured axe head mechanically and by epoxy
Finished with a burn and a coat of flex seal clear.
Pics....
