Small Finnish Splitting Axe

Small Finnish Splitting Axe


This is a small Finnish splitting axe that I cleaned up, made 
a new handle and a leather sheath for 

I have a little test video right here





I started carving the handle from a branch of maple 
using another axe. Then I shaped it using a knife 
and a spoke shave and sanded it to 220





I cleaned up the head using a sanding disk
for my angle grinder and gave it a rough
sharpening





 When I had fitted the head I finised it with 
2 layers of danish oil







Then I made a leather sheath and sharpened it with a 
wet stone
