    I found an old axe on my dad's property and it was in desperate need of restoration. It looked to have good quality steel and as I uncovered it and returned it to it's former glory I realized I was right! What a beauty it is now. I replaced the handle with a new Ash one and made it a little longer than it's original. Thanks for following the journey!

    Jesse, Samurai, I can land an airliner so smooth sometimes the passengers don’t know we’ve touched down, and before that as a US Navy F/A-18 combat pilot I could send a bomb through the front door from 10,000 feet, but for the life of me I don’t know how you create such beautiful wooden works of art. I’ll go to my grave never being able to develop such skills. I salute you young man, truly inspiring. Thumbs up!

    Looks like a Wetterling export, possibly this: Swedish Felling Axe No. 8 - Michigan Pattern, Single Bit. From around 1959. Excellent Swedish steel, japanned head, 3 1/2 lbs, 4 3/4” cut, 34” handle.

      Definitely not a Michigan pattern, closer to a Dayton but not really a Dayton either.
      Probably a decent axe, but not exactly " excellent ".
      The swedish exports from back in the day were budget axes, and my vintage GB is on the softer side.
      Noticeably softer than my 1960's True Temper woodslasher.

    It looks like a faller's axe light but with enough snort (3 ½ lbs) to pound FG wedges to control where the tree lands. I used one of these in the late '60s on the island at Franklin River.

    @Masterfighterx 2 года назад +7

    I'm fairly sure that's an SAW Wetterlings.
    The SAW logo had the A sitting a little higher than the S and W and there are/were 3/4 circles around the S and W connecting with the roughly 1/2 circle on the A (most of it on top and a slight bit on under the A)
    You got yourself quite a unicorn 😁

    SAW = SA Wetterlings. One of the best, though not better than that Liam Hoffman sitting on your bench. The heavier pitting on one side is typical for an axe that spent an extended time with that side laying against the ground. It won’t hurt function a bit though.

  • @davidanderson8407

      a more beautiful, or more beautifully crafted axe handle wld be not easily found.
      yet another thoroughly disgusting project,
      cobbled shabbily tgether by our own samuraicarpenter.
      truly pathetic jess. tho as long as you keep trying, the possibility does still exist.
      maybe someday . . .
      the rocking chair was sexy. quite.
      this? the axe handle?
      im feeling that this handle,
      has trumpt the chair.
      the axe handle is just sexier than the rocker
      no brag. just fact.

  • @eugeniomoore3920
    @eugeniomoore3920 2 года назад +7

    The Samurai Carpenter : Have you ever tried to apply the finish before placing the axe head? So to protect that interior part of the axe? Or maybe soak everything in mineral oil? A true question just to know.

    That axe is a wedge banger used by lumberjacks to bang wedges. That's why the handle is a little short and the weight is only 3 1/2 pounds. On your way up to the off grid property next time, stop in and see Buckin Billy Ray in Nanaimo and show him. He knows everything axes.

    I remember back when I started doing martial arts, a teacher said to remove the lacquer from the training weapons. Grind it off and give them oil - the wood needs to breathe and it makes for better handling, grip and longevity (lacquered wood doesn't really return to a somewhat original shape after being banged together).

    Buckin' Billy Ray has to be one of RUclips's best authoritys on axes, and he is on the Island. I'm surprised that I couldn't find a collaboration between Jesse and Buckin'. Vancouver is a BIG island, and Jesse is right at the southern end of it. I don't know where Buckin' is exactly.
