Restoration of TSAR Axe of 19th century

Restoration of a very rusty axe from the tsarist period. Probably the middle of the 19th century. This axe was used to cut thin pieces of wood. The condition of the axe head is poor, very rusty, there is a crack. But I'm going to fix it now.

Firstly, I cleaned the surface of the axe head with a rust remover. Then I washed it in water with soda. I made new bevels on the grinding machine, adjusted the cutting edge. Then manually sanded and darkened all the holes on the surface of the axe.

I made the handle for the axe from a dry hornbeam. To protect the handle, I added a piece of thick leather and stitched it. Next, I made a simple leather sheath for an axe made of medium natural leather.
And as usual, I conducted an axe test for you, please do not forget to share this video.

Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

You didn't just restore this. It was like a reincarnation into a beautiful piece of art. Fantastic work!

Какое же наслаждение смотреть как из под ваших умелых рук получается очередной шедевр реставрации, независимо что вы делаете :редкую шашку или столетний топор!

Hell of a job. Keep up the good work and building those skills. The reason these videos are so popular is because most people don’t have the skills required to do what our grandparents use to do out of necessity. Hopefully some people will take this as inspiration and start working with their hands.

This is absolutely gorgeous, Alex. Thank you! I love how you restored it to sharp and strong and yet made the 'look' of it appropriate for its age. Well done! <3

Interesting blade. I can’t believe the handle was that hard to get out.
Love your videos!

I don't know who made this hatchet or even when it was made. Whoever made this would be pleased to see that you have given it another life. Every time I see you pour a cup of tea it reminds me of my favorite blacksmith. Try watching some videos from Shurap, this is a YouTube channel. Thanks, Alex for another great video. 😎
