The Carpenter’s Axe – Page 2

Hey there everybody! Thank you for stopping by the blog today.

For our axe handles we use Tennessee Hickory wood, and offer three color options.

First we have the Natural Hickory. This one is simply left natural (without a stain), and given an oil finish. The oil finish doubles for a good protective coating, while bringing out that pretty wood grain. And one cool thing about natural Hickory wood is that each piece is unique and adds it’s own character to an axe. Some handles will boast a classy, light color, while another may have a cool swirl of heartwood in it.

Second we have the Chestnut Hickory option. Chestnut doesn’t refer to the kind of wood, but rather that good-looking stain on the American Hickory wood. It gives it a red-orange-chestnut color, and really brings out those beautiful Hickory grains.

And third we have the Chocolate Brown Hickory option, that rich, chocolatey color. This one also really compliments those natural grain lines, and gives it that handsome color that looks like it’s right at home in the backwoods.

Thank you for stopping in today! And, we would love to hear from YOU! What would you like to see on the blog in upcoming posts? Any option or model you’d like featured? Any specific how-tos you’d be interested in? Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions.

We hope you’re staying well and have a good day out there!

Carpenter Close-Ups

Hey there everyone!

We hope you’re enjoying this great Tuesday. We’ve had a cool breeze blowing that gives a lovely hint of fall-around-the-corner…

Today I have some pictures to share of two custom Carpenter’s Axes. The one on the left has a Chestnut-dyed Hickory handle with handle Cross-Hatching, Handle Scorching, and a Dark Brown leather sheath. And the Carpenter on the right sports a Chocolate Brown Hickory handle with handle Cross-Hatching and a Dark Brown leather sheath.
