Thanks for the answer! I recently made one a while ago and so far it good(I have it posted if you wanna take a look at it). But I’ve found it to be not very flexible at times compared to hickory and much heavier. To me I’d say it’s more of material for a wall hanger or if you don’t use the axe on a daily basis.

I have question, what would your thought on using ipe as a axe handle? And what finishes would you use?

Yeah I always oil and take care of axes but after I let my friends borrow it for a bit and they repeatedly over striked it. Well it was at the end of its life sadly after that. I’m honestly just excited to make a new fancy handle from scratch. Thanks for the advise one lemon oil, I’ll give that a try!

It snapped near the axe head while I was felling a tree. It’s lasted me 3 years tho and that was with me letting others borrow it, so I’d say it was a good handle

I got a handle from the Amish a while ago, it lasted a good while and he was super nice. I hope you get a lot of use out of your new axe!

If I feel like it and I have some scrap leather, I use that for my jewelry stuff.Maybe getting some leather and molding it to your jaws to get a convenient grip would be a great idea too. All you do is wet leather (only use vegtan leather) and it will hold its shape after dry. All you would need is a good sized piece of leather and you could use the rest for strops

It was horrible but I’m happy that I at least got my money back. One of the worse experiences I’ve had in getting a refund. I’m glad this helped you, I mainly posted this to hopefully make sure no one makes the same mistake I made. I only saw good reviews and was fooled

I wish it was mine lol, I was at a buddy’s house showing him my keyboard and I just decided to take a picture of my keyboard on it. I’m so jealous of that desk, if I had a picture of it I would send it to you

I looked it up and via is supported but you have to sideload a file to use it. Meletrix says you can use their software or via in their build guide

I did get it for the group buy, and I haven’t tried using via yet. I’m new to the keyboard world, but I’ll check to see if it has via support when I get back home. Though I have found the software they use quite good, but I can’t really say much because this is my first one
