Antique Axe Restoration. I Did It Again, BUT BETTER...

More axe experiment. I'm pretty sure this has never been done before. What do you think about this axe restoration - makeover? Should I stop it? This project is just for fun, my hope is to inspire others to make something just for fun. I know this kind of handle it's heavy (4kg or 9lbs) and very unpractical to make but I still love it as experiment and interesting piece overall. I just started to list some of the stuff I use for my projects in this amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/blackbeardprojects It's affiliate marketing, so if you order something from here you'll help the channel for free!
