Hand axe with a beard

[christopher]

Hi people ,
Bit different this time .
Made from 1 inch coil spring, squared then slit then brought the ears out a little .
Forged to 90 degree , then forged the beard out after that i drifted the slit out for the haft .
used spotted gum for the haft ,bit of engraving , leather wrap brass studs .
Thanks people .
