    Can't wait to make a handle and try the little guy out. I won't be felling any big trees with it, but it should be a great size to take camping.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    They did work, just shot logs all over the yard. Maybe I was swinging too hard.

    Thank you for taking the time to show the process. I would like to see more of the steel guys show their work.

    Thanks - the main part is mild steel with an O1 tool steel bit forge welded in place to form the cutting edge.
