Snapped the stick on this head a long time ago...and parked it.
The "new" stick is recycled from another project- it's about 34" now.
The head: someone 'equalized' the eyes with a file, damnit. It's been installed upside-down a couple times lol. I finally gave up and just hung it flat-top. lol. Hope it stays tight- usually does with poplar wedges. I yeller glue my wedges and "gently" seat them til they break with a wide kerf, and top wood reveal of a half inch or less so I don't split nuttin....glue seals the top, lil back sand, round stuff off, black spray paint to seal it up. Weather tight baby. And the Color?
Slather the stick in barn red, wait, wipe off with paint thinner, 1 coat done n done. Lil flat black for contrast, scrape a quick edge....stuck it end on in some red oak, that round rang- DONG. It's a worker bee- won't pretty for long. But it is now. Oh yeh....(red n black is my thang so....)

Watcha think?

I know ya like the old Iron.
Got a couple/3 more antique PLUMB projects in the works with WR sticks going in them. Good combo- PLUMB 'n WR.

You stayed tuned [young man]/and Team!

Bring da Whiskey- or just go away...lol!

- kev.

I don’t know what all these lil boys are whining about. It’s literally a mystery grab bags that come with a freaking axe head? How can you truly be that big of a whiney baby about something spelled out in the description of the product!? Thanks again for the cool experience and for the superb customer service!

I have had something to do with four of these Velvicut Hudson Bay camp axes. For my niece, a new camper warming gift, actually was the sport utility version that I tuned up and provided a high grade sheath for. This Velvicut version is already tuned up, plus its 5160 steel. So for my nephew's hiking and camping adventures I gave him this axe. Meanwhile, my sister in law wanted an axe for yardwork not too big, easy to use, and not much maintenance needed, for taking out volunteer little trees and roots. I also had the 24 inch version, used it for cleaning up notching timbers where the saw couldn't reach, and driving long spike nails. It was my take with me everywhere axe. If you need an already tuned up for serious use axe in the two pound size, this axe is a fantastic deal. I gave mine away, built two similar axes to replace this one, and now I am considering getting this again. I better hurry because they will sell out. Maybe later today I will buy my fifth one.

Was hanging a head with the intent of making a miners axe. This handle was well portioned and made of high quality hickory. Thanks Whiskey River.

Had to throw an Australian Tassie on it, now my favorite splitter!

Great little pucks. I typically don't like using them but these seem to be great for an edge touch up or polishing.

Can't wait to get it hafted and used. It feels great in the hand already.

The 31 racer is a great handle

These shears exceeded my expectations and will be my go-to everything cutters for hopefully at least my lifetime. Absolutely as well made as everything else y'all sell.

Awesome score thanks

This is my second purchase of these. Loved them the first time, needed more.

Nice grain. Feels good in the hand. Fit good.
