Hi Michael. I've also taken to making axe handles during the COVID lockdown. It's quite enjoyable! Here in Texas we have ash, pecan, cedar elm and osage orange. Pecan is probably my favorite.
Good luck with those projects, Greg. These are testing times that we live in. At the moment, I have a 2lb axe-head on my workbench waiting for a new handle.
Lovely job Michael, and a tricky thing to do well. Heavy old axe, but you seem to have to get through a lot of tough logs there! After many years of using an old 4lb felling axe I've gone all modern now and got a Fiskars X27 - which surprised me by being excellent. Best wishes, Vince
Great to see you back safe and sound Michael, please keep the videos coming.
Thanks Chris.
Well done Mick. good lockdown project alright. Looks like a great professional job. I always knew you were good with a bit of timber!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We'll keep that to ourselves.

Great stuff Michael!
Nice work Michael.
Thanks Roy.
Wonderful Michael! I enjoy learning from all your content. Would love to have someone with your knowledge of wood and ethic in my country.
Thanks Austin. I recently found out that I have relations called Marshall. What country are you in?
Michael, I am in the States, with Grandparents coming from England and Ireland. Marshall and MacCarthy.
@@austinmarshalldad Did any of them come from Cork?
@@michaelkearney5562 I don't think so.

Great to hear from you Vincent. I keep your book close at hand and delve into it regularly. It's full of little gems of wisdom.
Thanks Michael, I hope we meet up one day - look after yourself in these difficult times.
Put a patent on it Mick. Great job
Thanks Paul: not bad for a first timer. The next one will be better.
