Well, I got the pond scum off of the single bit. Looks like it did before the vinegar bath. I am thinking about bead blasting it and calling it good.
Got some hafts in. I didn't photo the single bit handle. It is poorly shaped and needs a little love with the spokeshave and belt sander.
These are the hafts for the double bits. Two 30" handles in red hickory, one round, one octagon. One will go in the Sager, the other in a pick axe I am trying to resurrect. (unless I fuck up the first run at the Sager, then the pick axe will have to wait) I actually have another 30" red hickory octagon, but it arrived cracked.
The 36" white hickory will be for the Hults Bruk.
The grain orientation is quite impressive.
