Axe Restoration/Repair

[Esq1997]

Good morning-

I recently picked up a vintage Sager Chemical axe head and need a haft and someone to fit it. Also need it cleaned up/sharpened. I live in southeast Massachusetts and can't find anyone who is interested in helping out. Does anyone out there have any thoughts? Best maker of hafts?

Thanks.

John

If you do find some one, expect to be shocked by the cost, especially if he/she know what they're doing.

I have no idea what to expect costwise. The axe really needs sharpening, not full on restoration. I also need it fitted to a haft.
