Vaughan Sub-Zero Axe - 1948 - cleaned and painted
I derusted (vinegar bath) and sanded the axe - was going to paint it blue with silver stripes like the pictures in teh old catalogs - so I prined the whole thng (except the bits) only to find out that the stripes are actually NOT PAINT!. So I painted blue and then masked out the stripes and bead blasted them, and resanded.
Would redo if I can get a better grasp on teh actual profile of the axe, and then doa better job of striping - but until then - a fun project.
Will be putting a new handle on (re-hanging as they say) next week.
