Dave Budd Axe Head Handled

[WealdenWoodsman]

Hello all,

Like 'njc110381', spent this weekend carving a new handle for a Dave Budd axe head (cheers Dave!) which I recently brought. Wanted to go for a 'Viking' look so left in pretty rough and ready. All in all happy with the end result.

The handle was made from English Ash.

Nice work!

What do the runes on the handle say?

Cheers. Its an old Norse proverb, 'It is better to stand and fight than to run and die tired'.
