The wood combines strength, flexibility and texture. The wood is selected carefully not for its texture, but also for the location of the wood so that the axe handle is not only harmoniously looked. But also strong enough. The handle of the axe is covered with oil with hard wax, emphasizing the natural beauty of the wood. The extra strength to the handle of the axe.

The axe is suitable for felling wood, hatchet firewood, etc. Please keep in mind that all orders are handmade in my shop and can take longer than the time suggested by etsy (custom orders only).
