Antique Hatchet Restoration. Third Times a Charm

Yet another hatchet restoration. With this one I am starting to get the feel of these casting experiments Bought this hatchet a flea market in my town for 3, it has a makers mark on one side but it s not readable anymore. The weight with the wooden handle was 983g With the aluminum cast handle it s now at 2159g pretty much double. I say this kind of handle won t break. Ever. It has no play and I doubt the amount of metal surrounding the heat can break with use. it s just too beefy
