I'm about to pull the trigger on a new axe but I'd really like to hold out for another Cegga if it's happening

I can't speak for _scorpio_ but I'm certainly keen to move the Gotland axe into the testing stage. If it works well, I'd be happy to commission the first 25 for resale if the group buy doesn't go ahead or people want a more prosaic design

Red, i'm with you, I will hold out for the Gotland axe. You've got one of your 25 right here :)

It was the design I suggested during the group buy discussions - and one I will move forward if I can. If Jordan wants to manage a group buy for it (when its sorted), that's his call. If he doesn't, I'll take it forward myself :)

It was never too clear in the original thread what the intended design was.

I think it may be along the lines of mine. Is that correct?

I think _scorpio_ hadn't settled on a design and was gauging interest to see what design people wanted

I think people need to manage their expectations as to what one busy family man can produce in his spare time during Scandinavian winters! This is likely to be a long process (measured in months rather than weeks).

I know that _scorpio_ hasn't done one of these before, and I'll let him make his own mind up how he wants to run things, but if anyone is in a deparate hurry for an axe, I suggest they get one from a reputable company that mass produces

My personal experience with these things is that they take time. Remember you are talking about a custom made piece by a skilled craftsman.

The time Cegga takes is directly proportionate to the quality of the items he makes and he is a perfectionist :)

Personally i am happy to sit back, happy in the knowledge that when the axe arrives it will be everything i wanted & probably then some.

Please let's not pile pressure on Cegga & Scorpio, there is a list of interested parties & if it's meant to be, it will happen in it's own good time :)
