First axe mask.

[crosslandkelly]

I bought a French axe, made by Peugeot at the moot, but it did'nt have a mask. So I decided to have a go and make one. I had some stuff in my shed,so i sat in the garden and had a go. Here is the result.


Four things I learned.1, It's not like carpentry,2, Its hard work,3, Take your time and 4,you leather workers rock.

Just used what I had, I'll probably fit a press stud when I get one. Thanks for the feed back.

Very nicely done Colin, glad to see it finally wearing an overcoat. Hope you and she have many happy chopping sessions together.

+1 on the leather workers comment, they do make it look easy don't they.... until you try it yourself. The same could be said with basketry!!!

You can tell I've got too much time on my hands at the moment, got to be doing something. I decided to wet form the mask around the axe to make asnug fit. While the leather was wet I thought how about a bit of decoration. Scratching my head for an idea for something to emboss into the leather, I remembered the bronze pendant I bought from Dave Budd,(sorry Dave). Perhaps I've overegged it a bit, but oh well.
