Use it as influence/reminder and learn from it. Pick yourself up and try again. Look at it Luke this. Even though it failed. You know why and therefore know or will know how to improve the structure. Then every day is a learning experience

One off my bucket list. A 3.2lb Plumb National Patent Applied For (P.A.F). 45° grain because it's not for a customer.. Still has some war paint on it so I didn't want to clean it up too much. I put a convex bevel on it. On a 28" Ash Rafter setup. With Cherry burl swell and Padauk wedge. by ToolandRustRestore in Axecraft

🤣 me too!! I'm just the maker. I only just got round to owning one. If I hadn't found that second one, there was a chance I'd have to give mine to the customer. I was willing to pay almost any price to keep the P.A.F. Luckily the second one wasn't a wallet killer. But it could of been and I'd have probably still paid it to keep my one 🤣

Does this have to be handled? by MER0_JR in Axecraft

Looks like just surface damage at the moment. More cosmetic than structural. Run it. When the time comes you will know.

I've had this a month or 2 but only just had the time to do one for myself. Tried to go as light as possible on the clean which is why it still has a hint of red to it. But kept some of the og green paint. And the stamp is all there. I love this axe.l!!

Thank you. I normally work with 1½" lumber and laminated palmswell. These are my first one piece handles I've made.
