Pour a whiskey, sit back, relax, and enjoy my axe handle build and mount. The handle is hickory and the palm swell laminate is lacewood. The wedges are lacewood and hickory as well. The axe head is a great Plumb rafter. Rafters are hardened on the poll (hammer side) which allows them to be used as such. This video was not meant as an instructional or How-To video, just simply to enjoy the process.

Learning to build axe handles brought me back from a dark place in my life. It was never meant to be a business just an activity that challenged me and brought mental heath. Out of the chaos in my mind Stumptown Axes came to be.

Thanks for watching the journey
