Some collection of completed orders. It is not often possible to put together so many of our creations that has been made in a while. This morning before saying "Goodbye" to our work we had a chance to document this happen.

I used a medium bastard file to remove the rolled poll edge. I will do everything by hand because this is a great hand tool and I want to put sweat and love into restoring this old axe. Took quite a bit of effort and time to get the edge flush. I will use sandpaper to remove the rust. Looks like the original black paint is still on the axe.
