Wood Axe

Managed to finish the Bronze Age axe today, in between dodging the showers and making dashes for cover. It was trickier than expected ~  although the raised area on the trunk was perfect for the axe shape, the grain was unpredictable and hard to work. Even the simple task of shaping the axe handle was time consuming, the background had me whinging, and my expected early finish didn’t materialise. It looks ok though, pretty much like the museum exhibit I think.

This sycamore stump was carved for a truly lovely couple, whose input, interest in the process and overall kindness whilst I was carving made it a real pleasure. Thank you!!
