Lee Reeves axes custom display

[rcwells]

I have this collection of Lee Reeves axes and a couple from other makers as well, and wanted to display them. Storing them unsheathed is not safe, and in the sheath they wind up developing undesired patina. So I searched and searched and searched and found NOTHING for an axe collection display, only some storage solutions, or store displays that don't show the axes so much. I mean apparently I am the ONLY person in the world that had beautiful custom axes to display because there was NOTHING out there!
So I finally came up with an idea of my own and am working on it now. I picked up some Pearl River (Louisiana) Cedar (supposedly these were sunken river logs) log sections cut on a bandsaw.

So, after a few weeks of thought, prep, and execution, I have finished the first of two wall displays for my Lee Reeves collection. Now that this one is finished I will start work on the next piece soon so I can get the rest of the collection up and displayed.

Anyways, I know a lot of guys on this forum have appreciated Lee's work, so I wanted you to see it and hope that you like it. However, it seems I cannot post pics here, so if someone wants to host for me, I will email pics.

Thanks

Look forward to seeing the display once your pictures have passed moderation.

Just to explain that, you need a post count of 10 or more to post pictures otherwise they go for moderation to make sure they're appropriate for the forum

I guess I need to post up some more here. I have mostly just read and searched out info here but posting up is good too.

If a moderator can post them up for me, that's cool too.

I saw this over on BCUSA , and I thought it was beautiful.
I really like the the axes too, they look great and the display is a wonderful piece of timber...


I hope I'm not breaking any rules but ,
It wouldn't happen to be this one would it Sir?

Great collection!
Such a shame Lee stopped making axes, there was a belt axe and knife on my wish list from him.
