Axe Display

Holy Cow, BroadAxe! Just "a few" axes

I especially like some of your smaller bearded axes. Do you happen to have a copy of Hartzler and Knowles book on frontier axes/tomahawks? The second edition is more affordable. has more pics in it and is definitely worth the buy.

Yep, a few indeed

The photo was taken at my old appartment. I had moved several months ago and brought the same system of display to my new place, now the method of arrange is more systematic.
I'm looking toaday also after smaller axes, I have some peculiar finds.
I do have that book, it is the revised edition and signed by Hartzler. I use it often.

Hi broadaxe,

Your user name should say it all but now we got the proof: very well done!!!

I would be glad if you shared the new arrangement with us and would be especially interested in your earliest pieces which are sadly cut off in your present image.

Best,
Michael

Thanks Michael

Well, as I wrote above, I use today the same way of dispaly, but I made an attempt to arrange the axes in a thematic/geographic order. It is better now than before, but since space is, after all, limited, I had no chioce but to spoil the good order for the sake of space. Nevertheless, I'll make some photos for you all to see, along your request. If by any chance I forget, say within 3-4 days, do not hesitate to nag me through PM. Happy holidays!

Well, here are pics of my display. It's very hard to get good focus & lighting in such photos, so if you have special requests to see individual items please ask.

That's what each monothematic collection should try to achieve: a perfectly constructed concept.

Congratulations,
Michael
