1st Viking Long-Beard Axe

This was the 1st long-beard axe I made, before I started filming the process. It started as a 60 yr old axe. I found a hundred wrong ways to do every single thing. Through trial and error found the easiest ways to cut, grind, polish, etch, and inlay metal into the wood with custom designs, and custom leather handle.
