Sounds like a good plan :emoji_thumbsup:

Beautiful knives Kawasemi !

Generally I apply it with the paintbrush that lives in the coffee jar with the oil and spirit mix or just use my hands Just passing on the info

Just to add a little to my post... I mix my linseed oil 50/50 with white spirit, There might be a coat of wax already on the handle I don't know how Wetterlings are when they arrive ? Give it a rub down with some wire wool or sandpaper I coat my handles until they stop sucking it up Also...

I always cut mine 50/50

That looks very very nice!

That sounds doable to me :)

Like the look of that! waiting to see it finished

Nice job Paul, mine are PVC ;)

Lovely bit of work

@Janne, I thin my linseed oil with 50% white spirit and put more coats on until it stops soaking in, when the handles are dry they will take a few coats, Then I coat them with my bees wax, turpentine and linseed oil (equal parts) mix This one has pine tar added to the mix This I heat in to the...

I also stand mine head up and leave a little puddle on the eye ;)

I made my own from some bees wax, turpentine and linseed oil, (equal parts) Your furniture wax sounds like it would work, if it doesn't you could always sand it off, Got to be worth a try

If it keeps soaking in I keep adding it I put BLO on nearly everything (I thin mine 50/50 white spirit ) As Macaroon says bees wax leaves a nice grippy finish to a handle

Nice restoration

I would try hitting it with a lump hammer myself Adam You take a chance on ruining the axe but it might sort it Wear safety specs :thumbsup:

Watching with interest

Thanks Billy, It was made in Germany, I replaced the knackered liners with brass and added the stag
