I found an awesome little long poll lugged hatchet head for sale which I suspect to be 1800's, I'm hoping I can get it for a good price because it really is an awesome little bugger.

That's a beautiful haft! That'll look and be really nice when done. Look forward to seeing it!I went ahead and got a handle knocked out for one of the Vaughan minis whenever they arrive, should be able to give it just the right kind of closed hang.
I just started with a hardware store link handle, it feels pretty good , and i think it's proportionally slim as it should be. The goal is to hang it at 12" on the dot.
Thanks.That's a beautiful haft! That'll look and be really nice when done. Look forward to seeing it!
Tracking number says Friday by end of day, so if it arrives on time I hope to have it done this weekend.I can't wait to see!
I don't know why Vaughan no longer uses a properly scaled handle like this.3rd one back on the left. Can we see the whole handle on that one? I have an old Craftsman mini like that and the haft is like a miniatrure version of a good full size axe handle. Most mini's don't have handles to scale like that.

That's what I had in mind with the handle I made for one of the two that's scheduled to arrive today.
I'd love to find whatever that mini hatchet is that's seen on Old Jimbo's site, now that thing as a real beauty with a perfectly scaled handle.
My Craftsman mini has a nicely scaled handle. And a full unclipped fawn's foot. I love it! Just waiting for my grandson to get a little older so I can pass it on.
