>>2401420Took an old axe that my dad gave me (probably 40 years old at this point) and restored it for my kid. Obviously not a metal worker, so go easy on me.
I got a flap sanding wheel for my drill (220grit) and got it down to a fairly smooth finish (not polished, who has time for that, plus it's an axe)
then with some vinyl tape and a cricut knife, i made the design inlay, and acid etched it (2 9v batteries in parallel, with a vinegar/salt solution)
for the handle it was just a basic hardware store hickory handle with a few coats of tung oil.
(ignore the kid's gloves in the last frame, he's 8, no idea.)
