Here is a nice Billnas 12.2 axe I've just finished restoring. The Billnas marking has been removed by my grinding operation but I assure you it's the real thing, with high quality steel and all. I removed the mushrooming on the poll to give it a nicer shape with lovely brushed steel texture. Then I reground the edge to an acceptable geometry and made it shiny and razor sharp using whetstones, a lot of sanding and a high speed bufffer. I made the 26" handle from a 1.5" thick board... of kiln-dried yellow birch (traditional for Finnish axes) using traditional tools for the final shaping, such as rasps, scrapers and spokeshaves. I carefully selected the grain to be as continuous as possible, ensuring maximum sturdiness, and shaped the grip into a very comfortable oval measuring approximately 1" 1/4 by 3/4, which is a standard size for an axe of that weight. The finish is a special sauce that will protect it against moisture and also gives it a great vintage look. I hung it on the head using black walnut wedges I also make. It's perfectly centered with the cutting edge for precise chopping action.
