As I recall the story is that Pulaski (also famous for saving a number of firefighters in the 1910 fire) took a double bit axe as a starting point and cut/twisted the one end to get the shape. So the twist seems like a correct feature.
I did that once for a former friend of mine who did a lot of trail building on public trails. The head that I got ahold of had raised scallops on the blades, so I carefully masked the blades and had the scallops powder coated emerald green. I wrote an article for the DIRTMAG mtb website called The Green Pulaski Award.
Got a small collection of axes I have found melel detecting and working in a scap yard. But my favorite is one just like this one but older. Has no paint, just a aged rust patina. Wouldn't sell it for nothing.
Very nice job turned out very well there Timothy. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Honestly, a rather disappointing video. When I read refurbished, I thought you were actually going to use your skills to fix the missing chunk. The video would have just been called, grinding off a broken axe head.

Wish you would have repaired that damaged edge with new steel and redone the heat treated vs. just grinding the blade down..
Cool thing is the axe is his and he can do what he wants. Let’s admire the craftsmanship and come up with a better way to communicate our opinions.
It would be interesting seeing how you would design a Pulaski yourself

Nice refurbishment! That thing has seen some use but you got it ready for the next 50 years 👍
Or 15 minutes on fireline!
Cutting roots in Rocky soil fighting wildfire is tough on Pulaskis and shovels.
Timothy,
Curious as to the stock blank of lumber you used, what is the thickness and was it hickory?
Hey Tim. Can you do more of these types of videos?

I'm no blacksmith or metal worker but really enjoy your videos 👊💪
Pulaski is lookin' hella dope, Timothy Dyck!
Do you two make blazer axe use to be a popular axe for the northwest back in the day
Cool work on the Pulaski, nice job!
hey I have one of those things, never get to use it sadly and it’s kinda scuffed but I think it’s alright
It would be so cool to have a bearded Pulaski!
Great restoration and video! Thank you!
How much are you selling them for
In the video he showed a clip and looks like 500 bucks. Just buy a new one they are a dime a dozen. Not really but 60 -120

The key word was refurbish, not restore.
