Well, to be honest, I didn't think I could get this done in my little forge. But Ryan goaded me into trying. 😉 Forged from L6 tool steel salvaged from a sawmill bandsaw blade, wrapped and forge welded in the traditional manner, and hafted in fire hardened ash. The head measures 6" with a 2.5" bit, weighing in at 13 oz.

Real nice J, love the absolute simplicity. That's a well made tool.
Forged myself a nice bag axe I'll post up later but... While shaping the handle I literally almost cut my thumb off. Surgery tomorrow to fix my flawless work...

You really must stop damaging yourself (advise from someone who keeps damaging themselves)....
