Well this project hit a snag. The handle I picked out had the kerf cut a little too short and basically I don't have enough room on the kerf to hang the head and carve out the adjustment for the crooked eye. I've been on the hunt for another handle but haven't found a good one yet. I did get the head cleaned up a bit though. I got most of the pitting out of the bit and cheeks and got the edge cleaned up.
Here it is currently
after some file work
now edge with a file
It's pretty sharp with just the file. You can get a good edge with a file once you know what you are doing. I'll put the final edge with a stone on once it's hung.
Will post completed hatchet once I get a good handle.
Thanks for looking.
