    It looks like an Estwing camp hatchet that's already hade a make over. The rust came off those cast iron pans really nice, as well as the protective polymerized oils. You're going to have to re-season those pans, or food will stick in them like cement. Also, teach your wife how to care for them properly, if she is actually using them, and not storing them in the shed. The woods looks like rosewood, maple, and walnut.

    I don't know if that wood is Koa or not, but someone tried very hard to make it look like Koa. They did a nice job of dying it if that's the case.
    An old timer's trick: when you sand wood to a fine finish, before applying any finish, take a damp cloth, run it over the wood lightly, just barely wetting the surface. I use alcohol because it dries faster, but water will do. Once dry, run some 0000 steel wool over the wood, lightly, removing the little hairs that will pop up when you wet it. Don't try to sand the wood, just take off the little hairs. If using varnish or the like, you should use the steel wool between coats of varnish, all but the last coat if you want a glossy surface. In my day we'd do it even after that last coat, and then coat with old fashioned car wax and buff it up. Actually the car wax would be good on the handle, contrary to what you think, it actually gives you better grip.
    I'd like to see a lanyard hole in this hatchet, and prehaps a leather or nylon lanyard on it. Of course, I don't imagine it will actually see much use now, it's too pretty to really use for rough work.

    I reckon it's some kind of rosewood. Lots of different types, though. If it's truly got a lot of purple, it's more likely to be kingwood. If you want the purple to come back in when you work with those woods, set them in the sun. Heat and UV light gets the colors vibrant, it's not really much to do with oxygen.

    It's very nice, and you did a great job with it. My only worry is that there's nothing but epoxy holding the center in. The outside scales are pinned to the hatchet, but the center is only hanging out in there. Just a thought, but you could drill a hole into the bottom and put in another pin without doing any damage, and it'd put another piece of mechanical retention in there. :)
