my goodness is that sexy.

Finally had a chance to rehabs this massive 4lb Jersey Woodslasher! It is the original handle that I set about a half inch lower. I’m excited to get it sharpened and go throw some chips!!!

Six ridge cruiser on a 28 inch handle

Further affirmation of Steve-Tall's few-years-ago postulation about 'quarters of pounds ' being used to denote north American head weights. We've all seen 3 + (elevated or smaller '2') before but it signifies 3 2/4 rather than seemingly obvious 3 1/2. This one is the first secondary digit '3' (which hopefully weighs-in at about 'three-quarters' of a pound over and above the primary digit 3 (lb)) that I've ever seen.

I just found a db ax that has a 3 1/2 marked on one side and no other markings. Does this mean it is probably not an American made ax?

I've seen it a lot on older pukaskis. They are 3 3/4 lb or very close.

3^3 is a standard weight pulaski.

that was the plan! you guys should have seen how monstrously thick this thing was, the pitcures dont do it any justice. the area near the shoulder, i have literally made it a half inch thinner in both dimensions at least. i only broke out the angle grinder when i got near the end, i mistake on my part. it was a massive time saver. i went a little deep with the area leading upto the palmswell but it's not uncofortable, just a little thin

Watch out with angle grinders around wood, at least cutting directly into a piece with a disc can be very dangerous.

it was a sanding disk, no need to worry.

besides all my distrust and anxiety is put into my wire wheel. i get pelted at least 3-4 bristles every time i use it.

needless to say i dont like using it without glasses

Any chance this had a 'take up screw wedge' in it at one time?

Just a big nail and dry wedge when I got it but it's possible.

This little guy has taken me quite a while of a few minutes here and a few minutes there.
I thinned and lightly accentuated the swell, Link handle

Just going to squeeze this in between hatchets...

I am hoping someone with experience could lend an opinion regarding a preference of aluminum and cast Dutch. I have used a small pack Dutch in the past of a light steel pan with aluminum lid, this would be an incredible step up.

I have a possible option to grab one.
Wagner Ware 9 aluminum

Wagner Ware Cast - slightly smaller than #9 -

I like both, feel I prefer the cast but wanted to hear from those that have used one or both type Dutch ovens.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I also hope to grab these...just timing is everything and the weekend is family time

(who am I kidding...its all family time)

Thanks for any input
Coffee!!

I would stick with cast iron .... maybe wait for a deal on bigger size. Aluminum can leach to your food.
