Thanks to you i now own a skeggøx=bearded axe i made it exactly the same way you did but with a normal sized axe handle. And i use it all the time to chop wood for charcoal making and soon firewood to keep me and my wife warm in the winter.

Indeed, in addition to regular chopping, I find the beard cutaway helps one do finer cuts when shaping with an axe.

This is the best re shaping I have seen and making your own handle is the only way to go. Found myself watching this as I am looking for shaping ideas, the 4.5lb Elwell I bought is in much worse condition than the pictures showed, very creative photography. I have a half inch stress fracture at the top of the eye but there is a lot of axe to play with so reshaping can take that out. Your axe is something any Odin fearing Viking would love to have in their hands.

Nice work! Inspires me to do the same! How much material did you have left at the smallest point beneath the handle? A bit scared this could be a breaking point :D Thanks!

I was most concerned about weakness at the eye, so the bottom and top sharp points retained the original head's full height. From the butt end, I'd estimate that the bottom cutaway was 3/4" at its highest point. The top butt and cheek cutaways weren't significant, as you can see by comparing the 04:20 and 04:31; a quarter inch or less. I'd say the bottom cheek cutaway was just over an inch at its highest point, as you can see at 01:09.

Handle making is from 4:37 to 8:32; I didn't have footage for all of it. The "P" is a middle name initial. At 9:02, the axe is just balanced on the tree; butt against the trunk and the heel on the branch.
