Absolutely beautiful recovery. I love watching restorers like you relive pieces of history like toys, appliances, furniture or in this case an artist's handiwork! I have high respect for your fine craft sir. Let's continue to save these beautiful pieces of history.
Very cool. Still watching the video, but you asked so: sure looks like a hewing axe. It’s offset and has a chisel edge for shaping timbers and beams in timber frame construction and for hewing strakes and planks for ship building. Don’t see them much these days. Nice find!
It's a broadaxe or hewing axe. It was used to make timbers-- probably, from the design, it's shipwright's tool of something similar; timber cutters used bigger axes-- from logs. That's why it's "side-assed;" that axe was used to cut timbers only on the right side of the log as you face it. It probably had a curved or offset handle, further to the right, to keep your knuckles from hitting the log. I can't tell how big it is from the video, but it's probably mid-sized. This is backed up by the beard. An axe used by someone hewing cathedral beams would have more metal in the head because they were taking longer strokes. But a shipwright or a millwright or a cartwright or a barn builder might have used such a tool.
Actually, it's a carpenters axe, used for flattening the sides of planks. Not that rare, but not used so much anymore. Sorry, @HickSquatch, just saw your message.
Discovering the exact composition of the head would help date the head. Ironically think it's not a traditional ax head. But one for clearing heavy grass .. possibly corn or bamboo
If there are few axes like this, then your skill level isn’t up to the task. If you are asking for information on the axe, then your skill level isn’t up to the task. Please choose your items more carefully as you learn.
@@Екатерина-л4ъ7д I know quite a bit about restoration, and this isn’t it. How about you? Are you just envious that this guy has a channel? I’m pretty sure you could do a better job.

Thank you very much for the information! I have thoughts that this ax is similar to Viking axes.
@@YoungRestorerI’m hoping you are dreaming. If it is Viking, you ruined it.
You ruined your life)
@@YoungRestorer maybe, but not nearly as badly as you ruined this “rare antique.”
🪓🪓🪓👏👏👏👏 Wow! Great video! Great job! It's nice to watch! Thank you master))
Thank you Bro🔥🤝
@@YoungRestorer Looking forward to the new video!!! Good luck, bro!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks !
Nice video mate cheers 😊
Thank you bro!🤝
This axe was used for splitting cedar shake roofing and siding back in the day.
Interesting… Thanks for the info!
@@YoungRestorerWouldn't you try to research what you are restoring before the actual restoration?
That is a broad ax used to hew a log. Tie hack used them to make railroad ties. This one as old as it is was probably used to hew house logs.
Thanks for the info!

I'm surprised how detailed you wrote! Thank you for your time! I was interested in reading this
You know the old sayings: a little knowledge...
Отличная работа. Это топор для односторонней обработки брёвен.

Thanks for the info! very few axes of this shape remain.

It is forged, which means it is old enough and the head is not standard)

Make a video on your channel how you restore something, I'll look at your skill)
Could you help to choose items?
@@YoungRestorer nope, I don’t have the skills, so I’m smart enough to not pretend to be a professional. You, on the other hand…
@@capers72424 You have disappointed me😢Those who can do it, those who can't, teach others 📚
Drama, drama, drama, no skill… and no proof the thing actually WORKS after you mangle it!
Do you know anything about good manners? Or maybe it’s simple envy😊

You are jealous that I have a channel, that's why you write nasty things and call me names!

@@Екатерина-л4ъ7д there are MANY people who are smart enough to not claim skills they don’t have, I am one of them, your sorry friend here is not.
Isn't that called a froe? I think those were used to split wood for roof shingles way back when. I think that's why the blade if offset to one side.
Yes, it turns out it's a woodworking axe.
