    This was the last video that we made and my brain was pretty knackered by then and wasn't really up for the task. Apologies for my jumbled English.

      No Need to apologise Peter, I got the information clearly. Is there to be another part of this where we see the making of the heads?
      And if I may, what are your thoughts on Kent pattern axes?
      I find the Kent pattern to be great for carving, just enough space near the head to snuggle your grip close to the centre of the cutting edge and gain that fine control.

    I have Peter’s small carving axe and it’s incredible! I recently ordered the larger carving axe. Can't wait to receive it!
    Don't hesitate to order one of his axes. They will enhance your carving journey.

    THis was really banger content. Thank you so much for sharing this. I harvest my own wood and make different tool handles. It's wonderful to have such an expert give this kind of advice. The little details like grain orientation, palm swell, and back curve take years to figure out on one's own.

    I'm making a handle for a hewing hatchet, and as I split the old plow handle to make it fit a hatchet, the splits followed the grain to shape it similarly to these carving axe handles. It's like the wood always wished to be this more artistic tool.
