Just one
I kept the handle underwater (not the head) for two days, then clamped it to a 4x2 with a shim, when it looked straight I heated the handle with a hot air gun
Then left it sitting for a week still clamped up (I actually did this on my bench then transferred it to the 4x2 later)

Top job, Tony  :tu:

Do you need over bend it in the opposite direction or just the right amount to get it to set straight?

Its very much like this axe bellow  but half a pound heavier so it's going to work well I reckon Rob  :tu:

Thanks very much to Al for the pictures  :salute:

Good looking axe Tony. Have you tried it out yet?    :)

I had a great time at the weekend  :angel: very glad that I spent some time putting new batteries in this one  :tu:
