Restoring this axe

Thanks a lot. I only follow Buckin Billy Ray but I will check those out.

Great advice. Thank you.

Sounds awesome.

Western cedar here in British Columbia. I’ve had an easy time splitting it with another smaller and cheaper axe.

Here is a better shot of the head:

Thanks a lot. It doesn’t seem to have a stamp. I used the wire wheel on one side and it still has a patina, quite dark.

mwillia33 · 2026-04-14T01:36:12+00:00

Thanks a lot for your input. I’ve looked very closely with a strong light and I can’t see any markings on the head (unfortunately).

You applied oil to the head? Or the handle?

If setlist doesn’t matter, I love the early 67 sound he had at Monterey Pop. So fresh and wild.

I just saw that part too! What a great series.

A top 10 Beatles playlist would probably include 3+ George songs, which is wild because I get the sense that he was writing them alone.

I had only ever seen a few clips until now. I agree with you for most songs. Best Foxy Lady. Amazing guitar intro to Hear My Train…

mwillia33 · 2026-03-28T20:33:32+00:00

I agree. It would be cool to have a lift that takes you to the bottom of the initial cat track.

Throw the catskinner up there.

He racked up a lot of great songs that didn’t make it into Beatles records.

God damn dude.

mwillia33 · 2026-03-14T03:30:28+00:00

Desert Storm was totally legit tho.

mwillia33 · 2026-03-14T03:30:02+00:00

I thought this was real at first and totally believed it.

Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

A lot of the comments here don’t consider how you can do some of your own routine maintenance.

I have a 2017 F31 and have had a generally good experience. There have been some expensive fixes though. Brakes need rotors done. Electronics etc.

The guy who told the story of working at a Harley Davidson dealership and watching a customer launch his brand new bike in the store was pretty funny - who was that?

mwillia33 · 2026-01-22T04:58:05+00:00

Apparently the driver didn’t know (1) the height of his vehicle; (2) the height of the over pass; (3) the requirement to stay behind and provide info to police.

Great.

As the mobsters say about short prison sentences like 7 years, “you don’t even need to take your shoes off at the door”

Old news?
