Thanks for the comments guys. I have never tried my hand at carving much more than tent pole stakes branson!Lol I know we have some members like scott, and yourself that could carve up a beauty, but I choose to go to Lowe's, and get a plain Jane for 5 bucks. Now, since this claw/ hatchet looks so cool to me, I may just try my hand at some cross hatching, and re-stain this one to a darker color. If you have not seen "Uncle Pimpys Axe Palace", google it, as he has some polished axes, and handles that are out of this world!
PS. As you can see, mine is not fully mounted yet, as I'm still debating if I will doll it up or not.
