Watch how much heat you put to the steel if ut gets too hot you will either remove or alter the temper wich can result in a fragile edge or microscopic crachs that could make tge axe head completely fail in time one rule of thumb i use is as long as you can touch it for 5 seconds its not to hot if you cant pur a little water on it
Looks nice. That's what I've been doing with my handles, scrape the varnish, burn, then boiled linseed oil. Well done!
Thanks! It’s such a simple way to make the handle look good and give it some character .
