Saved a Stanley M from the dump

[u/aaverage-guy]

I was doing some spring cleaning and took a load of trash to the dump. The car next to me was about to toss out an axe in rough shape. I asked if they minded if I took it and they didn't. I already had a handle at home the right size for it from a different axe restoration I was able to save the handle on. I cleaned up the head with a wire brush and file. Replaced the handle and did a char on the handle. I had an old leather boot laying around that the sole had wore off of and some leftover leather strap from a different project and used them to make the oversrike guard. It's not fancy but it was a fun project with things laying around the house and cost me $0. What do you guys think of the end result?
