Found this at an estate sale for cheap!!! It really is amazing how the older axes cut better and stay sharper longer

Cool looking Axe head, Im in the process of starting a new garden area and I put a call out on the village e-mail list for old tools to be renovated. I live in a very middle class area, quite an affluent area and I got some really good replies, I have picked up and old South African Pick so far, but I have another guy who old holidays here and he a a "tonne" of old tools for me! Cant wait.

Fine looking axe. Do you plan on cleaning it up or leaving as is? Either way a functional tool that will serve you well.
