The axe is ready to use waiting for me to get a suitable log to square up. I want to make a couple of primitive style park benches from native black locust.  That will be really cool with me, to make a couple of nice benches with no material cost!

There is there is currently a cornucopia of projects in the Show Off!! Forum that are awesome that I just look at and go wow. Just by looking with my eyes I learn something every time I come here. Thanks!

Hi everybody! I'm in Huntsville here as well.. I have been been lurking off and on for a long time and figured I might as well say hello. 

I've only been playing at leather working for about a year as I have time. I've made a couple of items I thought looked ok, several pieces of crap, but I'm learning! 

Woodshed I love that axe handle!  Nice job!

Hi nomatic! That makes at least 4 of us in the Huntsville area. That's almost enough for a convention! Nice! I'm about a year into it as well. It all started with the need for a sheath. The first thought I had after I finished the sheath was "it'll do for now but surely I can do better than that!" I'm still trying!  :rolleyes:

And BIGSIZZLE!  I just read your post which I somehow missed until now. Madison is just as close as Huntsville and I go there regularly, although with all the road work and traffic on I565 not as often as before. But this place is growing like crazy and I565 needs more lanes. I'm glad its getting them.

nomatic, I never expected to carve any axe handle in this life, much less a canked one. I have no explanation other than about 2 years ago a guy gave me an antique spoke shave that I used to make an axe using an old axe head. I enjoyed it. That's lead to getting more hatchet and axe heads to refurb. By the time the broad axe head showed up, it was one of those challenges that look fun. So I built a shave horse and went at it!

I’m just across the line in Tennessee.

Good morning 327fed! That's some pretty land up there in south central Tennessee.  The land gets more photogenic as soon as you cross the state line. I once had about 22 acres in the Taft area. My plans for the property never materialized so it got sold, but it was really nice and I often regret selling.
