Just finished these up for a client...
1080/15N20 Damascus Heads (finished with clear Gun-Kote)
Hickory Handles (Tru-Oil finshed)
The toughest part of these was the multiple hollow grinds on the poles.....kinda tricky with a 3/4" wheel!
(I THINK I sized the pictures correctly, but if they're too large, let me know!) <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Awesome hatchets!!!
Very nice work Ed. I enjoy forging axes and Hatchett. Did you punch and drift the eyes? I haven't tried that method yet, the ones I have made were wrapped and welded.
