notes: label: Description
content: A handcarved wooden handle with metal axe head. Handle is spotty in color, with lighter and darker (almost tie-dye like) throughout (possibly front staining or being worn - do not believe it is inherent to the wood itself). Wooden handle is uneven in cut, with notches in wood present. The toe/heel of the handle is flat. The metal head, uneven surface texture, has a hole on one end that the wooden handle sticks through (wedge). Metal head and bit are upright, parallel with the handle.
