 :D $110 to $300 in one fell swoop.

I was wondering if the dimensions and weight of the axes was posted somewhere.
I don't remember seeing it.

It's cool that this is the axe actually being forged in that video.

doctorb

Are the dimensions of this axe the same as the first one auctioned and/or the same as the last of the three yet to be auctioned?

Great video.  Absolutely beautiful work.

I believe the first axe was the largest.  This one is the middle-sized axe and the last one is more of a hatchet size.  This is based on one of the pics I saw Jeff had posted.  Someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong?
