Was among a couple other "treasures" on the day....picked up a new handle for it, today..

Old handle had more cracks than a city sidewalk...new handle was from the Blue Borg here in town ( was there, buying a new mower..)

Hmmm...there is traces of blue paint on the axe head...so, after maybe an hour total in the Rehab Shop..
Axe rehab, after 2.JPG
new handle has been fitted and wedged...and trimmed. Head has been cleaned up....burrs have been ground down...old handle is headed for the fire pit...
Might be a decent axe? Still needs a GOOD sharpening.....cleaned up steel has a coat of 3in1 oil rubbed on it...may clean off the labels on the handle?
Depending on the price of the handle....not too bad of a find?
