We have been receiving overwhelming support and interest from enthused patrons, local and otherwise, since opening up shop just three days ago! And as a result of the above mentioned enthusiasm, I am thrilled to present to you our first custom order! Here we have a matching pair of Collins axes from Collins Axe Company, part of Mann Edge Tools, originally established in 1826. A 3 1/2 pound Dayton Homestead American Felling axe, and 1 1/4 pound 18 inch camper's axe, both with beautifully restored heads once again proudly bearing their maker's marks. Hand selected Tennessee Appalachian Hickory for the handles feature a top shelf paint job selected specially for our customer. The fellow who placed the order is an avid outdoorsman and seems to know his way around a campsite. We can't wait to see these bad boys in action!
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in our big endeavor. It's been a huge step just to get everything up and accessible. We've just begun to really get rolling and can expect only bigger and better things in the coming months. Be sure to stay tuned for more axe related banter as well as an upcoming series of installments including, but not limited to: local Omaha craftsmen and women, our BAMF of the week, and how you can be a part of the Fontenelle Restoration community!
