New to the collection

I got this very nice Elwell axe the other day, another to add to my ever growing axe collection.
Its a pleaching axe I think, its 4 lbs and in very good condition with a good handle made of Hickory, I love old axes and I always keep an eye out for them when out and about, this one will be getting used at work and kept in the truck.

  1. That's a beauty, Simon. Good score. I don't have any 'new' axes just old gold beauties - an Elwell, 2 Gilpins, a Whitehouse and also a Brades on its way.

  2. Is that the one that was on Ebay Simon?

  3. That's a beauty! Now, being a yank, I've got to google "pleaching."

    Kepis, Yes it's of the bay did you bid on it too?
    Pleaching is a term for hedge laying
