Whilst out tidying the garage I found an old billhook in a box. It was filthy, pitted and quite rusty where it wasnt painted. I have cleaned it up and removed 90% of the rust and it is looking a whole load better.
It will need a new handle and thats no problem. Any advice on wood would be appreciated. Think that ash is traditionally used. Is that right?
Also do you think I should remove all the paint that is on it and if I do should I repaint it or leave it as is. The paint is some kind of thick protective stuff a bit like hammerite.
Thanks, Tim
