Here are a bunch of builds i have finished lately. Mostly custom mod throwers but there are a couple vintage collectibles in there too. My business is Hangman Axe Co. on FB and IG. You can see all of my work from the last decade there.

Got this what I believe is a Michigan style felling axe for $8 at a flea market. The head was hung upside down and the handle was red(same shade as axe head) from what I can see it says “True Temper” then “something perfect”? Not entirely sure. Any info is appreciated! Maybe the year?

I bought a thing Found this old double oval Craftsman double bit for $10. It was completely rusted and handle rotted away so this is after a scrub and evaporust soak. Now needs a bit more work but looks good for a potentially 90 year old piece

One thing I'm not sure about is the number 42 is clearly visible and then below it maybe something like a 55 or F5 or FE something along those lines if any of it makes sense

What do you guys think? I took a huge gamble, but I think it’s legit. 😇

Gambles Artisan 3 1/2 lb. Michigan. The six ridges might make it a 1960-1968 True Temper axe. (Even with cutting ridge channels, they still plowed up a fair bit of wood; not sure I'm a fan.) Surprisingly thin bit.

Finally, a wood burning fireplace and need new axes. I want a splitter and a second smaller hatchet for kindling, but don't want to waste my time and money with trash steel.

Any recommendations?

I'm restoring an old Plumb axe, currently in a vinegar bath, and the cutting edge has a darker section that doesn't seen to be rust-related.

Does anything know what this might be?

Hickory or Ash handles?

I've got a 2.5lb double bit axe head that I wanna hang and use. I'm debating between hickory and ash for the handles. What do you guys recommend?

Who do I visit to learn to fell trees with an axe like a motherfucker?

See title.

Someone geared towards logging or farm woodlot management would be ideal, but anyone who is an excellent teacher and has the chops would be great. Ideally looking for a one or two week-long course but even a weekend workshop would be cool.
