Thanks Guys  :salute:

Looks too long now.  :pok:  :D

I know  :ahhh  but I didn't have a shorter handle here
The handle has a slight twist and s shape, also my hang is a little out  ::)
Anyway I need to have a play with it and see how it feels

I've been rubing it with wax for hours and now I'm satisfied  :salute:

I don't want to make it too hard for Pfrsantos  :tu:

If it's too hard he won't get it  :shrug:

If Pfrsantos dosen't get it Alf will have to put it in for him  :dd:

Looking good mate.  How are you liking the weight/length ratio now?

"And now, it's time to hand this over to our tame race axe driver. Some say, he can live in the forest for six months at a time without food, and he knows of a secret tribe of only women where he is their God. All we know is, he's call the Styx!" - TazzieRob

I was using it at the weekend, it is very long for it's weight but very easy to use one handed
I'm thinking of it as my Viking forest axe  :tu:

Great looking axe! Looks hardy used and still has the label on the handle. That handle should be to hard to straighten. But would proably be easier to rehang it. Is that even a word?  :D
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

You're going to try to use your steam thingy and some strategically-placed weights to unbend it.  :pok:

Before and after
It's a bit hard to see but it's a lot better, I should have measured it  ::)



It could do with half an inch more between here and here, but it feels useable to me, I recon after half an hour you wouldn't notice   :tu:   


But I might give it another go...
