That's a great looking axe. I love the vintage look on the top. Would you share the recipe for the finish?

Best Regards,
Patrick

Thanks for the kind words.

Patrick, The "recipe" for the toner is to mix a small amount of amber dye (I use Mohawk brand,Stew-Mac sells it as well) into the lacquer, then I spraty a couple of coats over the binding as well. Bob Bennedetto does it this way in his book-works great.
