I picked up a small hatchet head from a car boot in the summer and its just been sitting in a drawer since then. I popped it in vinegar for a few days to clean it up a bit and found a stamp on the head that says Brades (i think) and it weighs about 18oz. I had a broken axe handle in the garage so i cut it down and reshaped it to fit.
just need to make a mask and give it a sharpen then I can try it out on some cherry plum that needs chopping.
