Small Poll Ax & Leather Sheath

I just finished up this set. It's a much lighter alternative to a belt axe. This axe is made to be carried over the shoulder. The sheath is made from 4-5oz. veg tan leather, hand stitched and dyed a dark brown and treated with bee's wax. The strap is 3/4" wide and adjustable with a iron buckle.The head is forged from medium carbon steel with a slight hammered finish and it has an oval eye. The size is about 4 1/4" long and has a 2" in cutting edge. The axe is fitted with a 12" hickory handle.I pick up the ax head and handles from a maker in PA I fit the handle to the head and apply the finish
