PLUMB Axe

[Grandpa Paddler]

I'm not sure where I got this Plumb but I use it to help out when cutting firewood. Not that I ever pinched a bar, but in case I do I'm told it's good to have an ax handy. Not sure of the weight but it's a 27" handle. I ground the head back to square.



Robin,

I'm note sure if Google Photos is all that reliable to share pics anymore.

Here are the pics

Nice axes, Robin and alsg. Alsg, looks like yours has been used pretty hard, maybe chopping roots? (don't we all have an axe for that?). I would take the 3 way compromise route-preserve/restore/use it, which would reflect its value, condition, and sentimental value. Like you said- knock off the loose paint and the oil the handle, sharpen the bit, keep off rust with an occasional oiling, and use it!

By the way, I have a Plumb hewing hatchet from the 80's with the epoxy hafting. If this turns into a "show me your axes" picture and story thread, that
's fine by me!
