Christmas Competition - Worlds Smallest Axe

[mmcniven]

I carved this in a spare moment today, some may say moment of madness ): , but i was thinking is this the worlds smallest axe ?

ok so it is made entirely of wood and useless, but is this a challenge or what......can anyone beat this ????? Should you actually want to ????? :rolmao:

 

[Wayne]

Nice little axe. :super:

 

[MagiKelly]

Just think of the size of the Starkie Jake would need for it.

 

[tomtom]

:rolmao: you tryed it out on a matchstick yet? :yikes:

 

[Andy]

ahhh bushcraftuk christmass decorations, what a great idea.

That came as a shock to me becasue I thought you were talking about the bark river mini axe.
The detail on something so small is great, I don't know what else to say

 

[tenbears10]

Hopefully he wont mind but this is a knife by dave barker. Not the mora but the tiny one next to the 20p. Excellent work by both of you I think.

 

[Stuart]

very nice.

you could carve another one and have bushcrafe earrings ):

 

[jakunen]

Nice work guys.

I'm NOT going to show any of my carving as it'll die of shame compared to that.

 

[TheViking]

That's very nice work? Could you tell me the exact length, mmcniven? ):

 

[leon-1]

I am sure I have seen RM use these two items, but then he is only 12 inches tall if my 14 inch portable is to be believed ):

 

[Hoodoo]

Those are really cool! Great work! :biggthump

 

[mmcniven]

That's very nice work? Could you tell me the exact length, mmcniven

The axe is 42 mm long.

What a good idea ......earings.....im sure the lady in my life would just love them for her christmas :rolmao:

I love that knife it would have been perfect for carving the axe.....i almost lost a finger or 2 in the process using a standard carving knife :shock:

 

[Jeroen Zuiderwijk]

Now there's a challenge I can't resist!

Here it is, a miniature reconstruction of a early bronze age axe:

It's got a bronze axehead, wooden haft and leather string to attach the axehead to the haft. Total size: 2.5 cm.

And next to its bigger brother, which I also finished this week:

And a last view:

 

[JakeR]

woah! nice one there guys.....!

 

[BIG-TARGET]

How about"small yet practical" ???? :?:

 

[Roving Rich]

fantastic :You_Rock_ :super:

Rich

 

[Andy]

How about"small yet practical" ???? :?:

where's Jake gone?

I think a pair of the axes would be practicle for earings. What is practicle after all?

 

[mmcniven]

How about"small yet practical" ????

Ok so i went a bit bigger just to make a practical key ring.......does that count ??????

Whilst I admire your carving skills, I've never understood this fascination with things miniature. My old Ma paints miniatures and the sister of an old school friend is current president of the Royal Miniature Soc. It's all marvellously skilful stuff, but I don't see the point of it. Why not make something full size and useful? I'd rather have an axe that I could use or a picture that I can hang on the wall and look at without needing to use a magnifying glass.

(Yes, of course, I can see the point in a device the size of a boiled sweet that can store 256Mb of data)

i dont think they have a function mate (do they need one :?: ) just a bit of fun isnt it as well as helping to hone your carving skills.. if you can care an axe such as that nicely chances are you can casve a pretty nice fish hook.. etc..
