Is this ax any good?http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-MADE-IN-SWEDEN-HULTS-BRUK-HATCHET-AND-MORA-HUNTING-KNIFE-CAMP-SET-/181854369909?hash=item2a575d7875Hope so...it's on the way.
Thanks guys and for the link TG!!!
A wedge sounds in order, depending on condition possible a wooden one and a steel one, but until you get that epoxy off so you can see what you're working with, its hard to tell.
Before you attack the epoxy you could try soaking the head/handle in linseed oil/white sprit, it might swell the wood
Here is mine.
I must say, the skateboard and window wiper/squeegee amongst the wood debris are throwing me for a loop
