Title: A small(ish) ax and a small hammer
Post by: scottg on February 01, 2014, 04:12:00 PM

Hey Guys
  Here are my latest. A small one pound carving ax (don't know if I love it yet or not, preliminary tests aren't bad though)
 And a 13 ounce trim carpenters hammer.
  Custom handles and of course custom work on the ax and hammer heads.
  As I was working up the hammer I started to become aware of the reasons this hammer is a favorite and that hammer is not. Its all about subtle curves and angles.

Scott,

Those tools are beautiful - simply stunning.  As nice as the heads are, the handles are what really gives them character. 
These two are examples of why we collect and restore tools.
