So back on the Medieval Carpentry course in September, one of the carpenters, Gavin, had an axe with a wooden carved cover. I saw it and thought this was such a great idea.
I asked him if it was okay to copy it and make one for a magazine article. He was fine with it.
Gavin's axe cover -
It was a perfect fit.
Mine was carved with sycamore, a beautiful wood to work with.
I was quite pleased with this one. I might have to make some more!
Let me know what you think.
I really love quartersawn sycamore. I'm not sure if the species are the same but over here, quartersawn sycamore has a ton of flecking in it which is very beautiful in furniture.
ReplyDeleteWow Kev! That is fantastic! I have never seen a wooden axe cover before, only leather ones.
