Axe Display

Thanks guys. Well, this is not so perfect, I had to do some compromises because of the space limit.

WOW! THATS QUITE A COLLECTION OF AXES, I DIDN'T SEE ANY EXAMPLES OF OCEANIC FIGHTING AXES, IS YOUR COLLECTION MOSTLY EUROPEAN?. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY AXES LIKE THE ONES IN YOUR SECOND PICTURE (ONES WITH HORSES, FOX, BIRDS AND A BEAR) WHAT WERE THEY USED FOR AND WHERE ARE THEY FROM?
I USE A SIMULAR SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING WEAPONS IT CAN SUPPORT A LOT OF WEIGHT AND PLASTIC TIE WRAPS CAN BE EASILY REMOVED TO REARRANGE THE DISPLAY OR REMOVE AN ITEM FOR STUDY. CONGRADULATIONS ON A GREAT COLLECTION.

Wow! I can only imagine that display set in motion by an earthquake.

We have a saying about that (roughly translated):"Don't speak of the devil"

I did have in past many "ethnic" axes, mostly from Africa, India and the far-east. By choice I limit myself today to North America, Europe and the minor Middle-East. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY AXES LIKE THE ONES IN YOUR SECOND PICTURE (ONES WITH HORSES, FOX, BIRDS AND A BEAR) WHAT WERE THEY USED FOR AND WHERE ARE THEY FROM? Oooh, these are domestic cleavers, a form of folk art that had appeared first in France, probably during the late 18th century and spreaded both to America and towards Russia.

Thanks!
