Something new from Cegga

[British Red]

Since there has been a little chat about Cegga axes here of late, I thought you might like to see my wedding gift from the kind man. We were talking about the older Scandinavian "four lugged" design with a bearded feel.

This is Cegga's modern take on the classic design

Its currently in the hands of topknot for a suit of clothes in his inimitable style

A thing of beauty Red;what does it do best?

 

[British Red]

Hmmm well in design it follows the old pattern of "part tool, part weapon" (clearly in use it will be all tool). It has a straight 20" handle and a heftyish head (never did weight it before I sent it on to topknot) I'd guess around 2lbs on the head.

The edge does not have a pronounced bevel but is a gradual convex.

I haven't used it it anger yet but its a ferocious splitter (one has to try it on a few logs after all). I would expect it to perform adequately in cross grain cutting but its a tough puppy - more splitter than chopper but with stonking edge retention.

Clearly the beard gives a lot of cutting edge for the weight which is an interesting feature.

Always wanted to play with a proper bearded axe so I'll let you know how it performs

In the words of "Highlander" bert - "there can be only one". Not a production piece this, just a kind gift from the master
