I first saw custom axes from a local shop Georgecraft Woodworking posted by customers on the local Woodcutting Boys Facebook page. Each one was even more beautiful than the last. I contacted Gerorgecraft via Facebook Messenger enquiring about purchasing an axe.
At the time he had none in stock so I placed a custom order, a process no more expensive than purchasing one in stock. I picked out my preferred axe head shape and Mr. George sent the sketch to his blacksmith who forged the head using a beautiful and one of a kind Damascus steel.
Walter George then custom fabricated the hardwood handle and set it into the axe head. I chose the finish, Ebony which made for a stunning finished product.
Georgecraft performed final sharpening and fabricated a custom sheath to protect the sharp edge.
All in all it was a fantastic purchasing experience and an absolutely beautiful one of a kind finished product that will be very well looked after!
Cheers, Mike
