rehandling a Roselli axe

[jungle_re]

A friend gave me a great peice of straight grained ash when i was testing the froes for re handling my Roselli axe. All done with tools shown apart from the pyrography - bit dark for the finished pics

 

[_scorpio_]

nicely done! how did you get the writing on the handle?

 

[jungle_re]

i do a bit of prography bud - it was done using a drevan pyrograhy machine and burnt in

 

[_scorpio_]

oh like they do on the GB axes?

 

[jungle_re]

i think the marks on gb axes are done with a heated stamp. my tool more like a red hot wire pen which you draw with

 

[_scorpio_]

oh, so its a bit more skill involved than just stamping it. so its like a soldering iron but finer point?

 

[jungle_re]

yep very similar

Nice finish, I like the overall look of the axe.
Well done I'd say.

Very nice and that penwork does it justice.

Nice work there Will. I'd forgotten how much I liked that axe of yours. It looks even better now though

Stunning work once again Will.That axe is one of the strangest things I have come across.It looks terrible but is one of the best handling and cutting axes I have ever handled.It's also good at carving.
