Axe me again. (French 19c Boarding Axe?)

Yes it's a good axe with its own history. I think it rare as I have only seen a couple go for sale in the last several years, both sold as boarding axes and both for silly prices. You got a good deal.

I've tried the soaking in water and it works well for a week or so then when the wood dries out you are back to square one. The same result for Teak oil but with the added benefit of the axe smells good.
Let me know if Linseed works better.

And Fernando - many thanks for Deposee - makes sense.

Regards,
CC
