Wanted ... Mask for GB Working Axe

[British Red]

I have worn out the blade covers for my GB larege double bit working axe this winter

Since its too large to post I wondered if any of our talented leather workers had one and so could make me a replacement cover?

Drop me a pm if so please!

You could always make a template of one of the bits in plywood, which would be postable in an A4 jiffy bag

I'm umming and erring about ordering one of these at the moment If I do, and if you can't get sorted elsewhere, drop me a PM.

Possibly also from other suppliers

Thanks all Dougster has offered to make me new ones using the old ones as a template. I'll let him have a shufti and move on from there - I appreciate the input from everyone

You won't regret the purchase if you prcess a lot of wood. Its a beast of an axe but keeps me warm with the Esse range fed from wood

This was it new - the helve is staining down with sweat and gunk now

I'll show piccs of any new mask as it shows up!

Yup, I process a lot of wood - a 30 footer to come down this weekend, a dozen or so 40-foot chestnuts to come down at the beginning of March, and a 3-trunk 50-foot conifer to come down by the end of March. Most of which will end up in my wood piles. Axe should arrive middle of this week (fingers crossed).

I'll show pics of any new mask as it shows up!

Thanks - I can't see it being long before I make some masks for it.
