Hello folks!

We hope you’re having a peaceful week. The USPS and UPS have put out their holiday shipping deadlines, and we wanted to give a heads-up to any of you who wanted to shop with Wolf Valley Forge this Christmas season!

We encourage you to place any orders by December 15th. We can’t guarantee prompt delivery time once a package has left our place, but we will try to do our part to make sure any orders we receive by this date are packed and shipped promptly to give you the best opportunity to receive your gift on time!

For gift ideas, you can check out our Gift Shop page!

Please note the wait time on our custom axes, as we’re not able to fulfill any new axe orders by Christmas at this point. However, you can place a custom axe order and request an Axe Certificate to be gifted this Christmas! We’re happy to mail printed certificates, and we also offer a digital option, so you can place a Christmas Axe order all the way up until December 23rd, and receive a printable Axe Certificate to be gifted to someone special!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all. Thank you to everyone for your business and support this holiday season!

Christmas is fast approaching, and we’re booked up for holiday axe order fulfillment, but…if you’re still hoping to gift a Wolf Valley Forge Axe this Christmas season, you can give the gift of an Axe Certificate!

Simply place an order on one of the model pages, then contact us to let us know that this is a gift axe and share any details you’d like on the certificate (like a name and gift message). We’ll be happy to whip up a printed certificate, letting them know what type of axe they’re getting and when they can expect it by.

(Please note that your gift recipient will have to wait (as of December 2022) for approximately 10 months while their axe is being built, but this certificate lets them know the make and model of their custom axe, and when they can expect it to arrive)

We mail these fast, so you’ve still got time to order! And just in case the mail runs slow during this holiday season, you can also request a digital version to print at home.

So, shopping late? We’ve got you covered. 😉

Oh, and don’t forget that November 28th through December 3rd is Free Axe Puck Week! And that includes gift axes, so place an order for a gift axe, and they’ll get a free Axe Puck…or you can give them the axe and keep the puck for yourself! 🙂

Thank you, everyone, for making Wolf Valley Forge a part of your Christmas season! We look forward to building your axes in the coming year.

Happy Monday, folks!

Christmas is THIS SATURDAY! For those of you still looking for a special gift, we have Axe Certificates!

You can place an order for a Wolf Valley Forge Axe, and give them the gift of a certificate, letting them know what make and model they are getting! (please note that our wait time is currently 9 months, but this will get their axe in the queue!)

We mail these fast, but just in case the mail runs slow, we’ll also send you the file, so you can print your own.

So, shopping late? We’ve got you covered. 😉

Thank you, everyone, for making Wolf Valley Forge a part of your Christmas season! We look forward to building your axes in the coming year.
