Fifteen years in the making - from acquisition and reforging of an axe head to final details of sheath and strap. The artist modeled this fighting axe on a relic viewed somewhere in Pennsylvania 25 years ago. It was said to be part of an explorer’s equipage dating to the early 1800’s. The head is not a commercial reproduction but a one-off recreation. The cap hiding the tightening wedge is formed from copper sheet. The stitched leather straps are attached to a heavy water-formed leather case with sole-leather welt joined together with thirteen copper rivets.
