Haven't made an axe in awhile, but this scrap of damascus cut-off was just sitting around doing nothing. So......
Trick was finding the right size legbone.
Just for a little perspective.
Yeah that's a .22LR.
Bone is possum, faux sinew wrappings and a turquoise head wedge (hard to see in previous pic, but it's there). The real fun is forging a small scrap of damascus into the shape of a bearded axe head without sending it flying off into never never land.
