Well here are a couple of choppers I'm slowly working on restoring. Doing up the little hatchet first gonna make up a new handle for her reprofile the edge and get it razor sharp same with her big brother to not in to bad a shape considering guessing both are at the least well over 50 years old.

Handle is being carved from a piece of Norway maple I know not ideal but it's what I have and figure it'll be a good test run

Home depot has ones like them they are used for splittig roofing shingles
