Rusty Axe Restoration - Unexpected Result
This is the first axe of the family. My father used it for many years, he probably knows something about the welded portion, I didn't asked him, he is working in another country with my big brother. In our locality was a carpentry workshop, where we change the tail of the axe when it breaks. The workshop has been closed for several years and we haven't changed the tail since then, but it also mattered that we no longer used raw wood as fuel during the winter. That's the reason why I used two different pieces of wood at the end. I tried to give it some personality and I hope you like how it turned out :)
