Good deal :)

Very nicely done! Am I right this fabric is no longer available from their website?

Makes sense :) Just PM me if you decide otherwise.

I might be interested in the cooker if you're willing to sell that separately. I already own the other stuff ;) Good deal though!

I've used the Fjallraven wax on cotton hats with success. If I remember correctly, I applied three coats.

Hmm. The new products aren't on the DD website yet, right? I can't find them anyway.

Photos! Comments are welcome!

Will you also ship outside the UK? (Netherlands in my case.) @Tent peg, http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105153

Update! So I sharpened the axe (which was incredibly dull) sawed off a part of the protruding handle, and left about 5mm sticking out. I then applied two thin coats of linseed oil and gave it a whirl. I found it a bit scary at first, but it all seems to hold up really well. I split about 20...

I'm terribly sorry for my late reply. Life intervened ;) I'm planning to finish (read: saw the handle flush, sharpen the axe and oil the handle) this weekend or maybe today. I'll promise to keep you guys posted. Few things are more annoying than unfinished threads on forums ;) @mrcharly &...

Thanks again Stuart, and sorry for the late reply. Today I finally had the chance to work on this little project again (damn holidays ;)). But I'm not really satisfied with the results so far. I sanded off a little more of the handle (very little, only 1mm or so), to make more room for the...

Thanks Stuart! That's a thorough explanation. It does raise one more question: are there any dangers if the wedge is less than 2/3ths of the way into the eye? One small correction by the way. I wrote the wedge fits 1/3 of the way, but that's including the (about 1-1,5cm) top of the handle...

Yep, it's pretty much exactly 2/3ths down. Forgot to mention that :) Thanks! The wedge is about three times the width of the saw cut. Maybe even four times. So that's probably the reason it doesn't fit. But I'm afraid the wedge will be too flimsy if I file it down even further. The saw cut is...

Update! I received the aforementioned handle. It's not perfect; it has some colour and the curve is off-angle. But the grain orientation is good, it's hickory, unlaquered and most importantly: it's the right size :p I decided it was fine for my first handle project. I had to file/sand it down...

Thanks! But... Victory! At least, I think so. I managed to find one online for a reasonable price. Head size is 70x26mm (the head is about 68x26mm, and everything I could find locally was 63-65x26mm), so fingers crossed it should work fine... Right?!
