A few years ago, archaeologists uncovered this ancient Stone Age axe with an intact wooden shaft stuck into the ground at Rødbyhavn, Denmark It dates to the Stone Age, about 5,500 years ago! Axes were an important tool in the Stone Age for wood-work purposes. They played a significant role in the introduction of agriculture at a time when most of the land was covered by forest, which needed to be cleared. A paddle, two bows, and 14 axe shafts were found nearby, all of which were standing upright. The researchers believe these artifacts were lodged into the ground deliberately, perhaps as sacrificial offerings. Museum Lolland-Falster

I've had this hatchet since I was a teenager. I'm under the impression that tool was brought home from Europe after the war ended by my father. The handle was broken when I got it and I re-handled it back in the '80s with a store bought handle. I've used it a bunch over the years and it's been hunting, fishing, camping, along with other chores. Any guru's out there that can tell me more about it?

Here's an old Zenith that I had in my pile. I spotted some figure in the handle and decided she's do a refinish. Won't be doing much to the head..or plan on refurbing to return it to service..just a little clean up. Mainly just spicing up the handle to see what we get. Handle had a significant crack in it and was repaired using 3 small screws. I removed those and have the handle glued and clamped at the moment. I'll replace the screws with some small dowels and may had a few.

The beginnings, I am ready! -
Somewhere this spring, I picked a old axe....cost me a whopping $1....despite the price tag of $2......finally was able to find a handle for it... As I think it needed a new handle.... More cracks than a city sidewalk? After about an hour in the rehab shop....remove old handle, clean off the rusty-crud, remove burrs and such Fit the new handle, add the wedge...tighten things down...trim the excess wood.. And, toss the old handle out, onto the fire pit. Seems I now have a 3-1/2 pound Collins splitting axe....just needs a GOOD sharpening, when I get a bit of time. Not too bad of a deal?

The spoon is roughed out, and I carved the shape with a couple sloyd style knives. -

I procured this little branch for a wood pile at work, it's green, and I split it using a forest axe and beat the axe head with another small log till it split. I really need to get a froe. -

I roughed out the spoon blank with my Japanese Hatchet and thought I'd bring out my new hatchet by Robin Woods and give it a try to bring the blank to fine rough. I like the new hatchet, it performed well in curves. -

The spoon needs to be dished out, I'll do that after it has dried overnight. -

I didn't need much, just an old log for a workbench, a stool to sit on, and a few tools. I really like this spoon carving, I set the spoon in the shop overnight to dry a bit, then I'll be able to refine the entire spoon tomorrow after much of the moisture has evaporated, and I should have a fully functional cooking spoon. -

The bottom of the spoon, it's a lot of work, but well worth it, I love the journey to get it this far.
