Love that idea on filling the cracks. Today I got the help of a friend with a laser cutting table to etch in his name and crew info

Found some brass in the hobby section of Ace Hardware. Time to oil it up.

And first coat of oil.

Backside has some cool grain.

Boiled linseed? Looks great!

Yes, two coats of boiled linseed so far. I’ll do it daily for a week. Leather sheath is next.

I hear all sorts of bad things about boiled linseed, but I've been using it for 50 years now and never had a problem.

Just need to apply it in thin coats and renew from time to time

I'm 6 coats in so far. Will keep applying for a few more days. Then yah I'll instruct the boy to do it a couple times per year if he uses it. Or he can just display it. Either is fine by me. We have plenty of axes laying around if wood needs splitting.

My new to me Fiskars x25, have to rehandle my old axe that I got from my father but figured I'd try this one out

I really liked the mount that @LC4LIFE made for his 80, so I made my own rendition of it
