Got this new John Neeman Northlander Forest Axe "Stalwart" today. Took almost a year this month since I place the order.

Here's some pictures:

That's all for now!

You should send that ugly , unsanded ,unpolished hunk of steel up to me and I'll send you a nice factory made , sanded smooth , polished and painted one ...................Really .

I truely like it, i have a soft spot for bearded axes.

Heres one of my own, its modified by forging and grinding from some 40 year old axe head that was the all basic, square shaped boring chunk of steel.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like it was buried in the ground for 40 years and just dug up and wiped off. Hopefully it works well I guess?

watching the video, I was enjoying the forging parts, not a skill that I possess, and realized that when he had finished that portion, there was a great bit of time left. And then he started cutting and shaping the handle. As a woodworker, I really enjoyed that part as much as I did the forging. It looks like he probably makes his own beautiful draw knives, too. Wow.

Nice video, though the music was rather annoying.
