The Outdoor Boys YouTube channel restores a rusty axe, which has some unusual problems, including a bowed blade and mushrooming on the sides. The blade is heated, straightened, and heat-treated. The handle, made of laminated zebrawood, is shaped and smoothed before being mounted on the axe head. A leather sheath is wet-formed, dyed, and sealed with beeswax. The finished product is a beautiful, functional axe.
