Hello everyone and happy Friday!

We hope you’re all and enjoying this Summer season. Things have been pretty busy around here, and you may have noticed that the blog has been a little quiet lately. But we’re back and thank you so much for stopping by!

Ike currently has six different axe models that he makes, ranging in purpose and application from bigger jobs to small hand work. The models are The Canoe Axe, The Bush Axe, The Carpenter’s Axe, The Trail Axe (in two handle lengths), The Chipper, and The Timber Pup. You may be wondering about each model, what they’re used for, what’s the difference, and which model is best suited for your need.

For any of you who would like a closer comparison look at each Wolf Valley Forge axe model, I’m so excited to share a video with you today! In this video, Ike tells about each axe and what application they’re best suited for. We hope you enjoy!

Thanks again, and hope you have a wonderful, safe weekend!

Can you guess what this means? Yep, it’s a load of kiln-dried lumber! Each Wolf Valley Forge axe is fit with a Tennessee Hickory handle, so it’s certainly a plus to have a load of it on hand. Now it’s ready to cut and shape to someone’s custom, handforged axe head!

I offer the finished Hickory handles in either a Chestnut-dyed color, a Chocolate Brown, or a Natural Hickory finish.

Oh, by the way, the three little Timber Pup handles that are pictured above were part of a photo shoot yesterday…have you seen the new pictures on our Timber Pup belt axe model page? You might enjoy checking them out here!

Thanks so much for visiting the blog today! We hope you’re having a great day out there.
