LAMACA Work Axe Serial No. 254 with Custom French Curve Handle by Australian Handle Maker Josh Curtis
When we chose the handle design for our Work Axe a couple years ago, we went with a kind of "straight-ish, narrow-ish" design for a number of reasons. We believed it combined several of the performance advantages of a racing axe handle with the comfort of a classic fawn's foot grip pattern. Our Work Axe handle makes it easy to get your wrists into a good accurate position for bucking and felling. Light weight with excellent shock absorption properties, it's a "high-performance" design.
We like it a lot, but we know that there is an entirely different style of felling axe handle out there that has many of its own advantages. And what it may give up in terms accuracy/performance, it earns back in spades with comfort and mucho mucho drop-dead sexiness. It's know as the "French Curve" pattern, and Oo La La, we've always wanted to offer our Work Axe with this kind of handle option.
I've had this exotic Red Gum handle from Australian Josh Curtis for many years just waiting for something to haft on it. Maybe 5 years at least. Still has the original sticker on it! Red Gum is a very dense Australian hardwood with a finely figured grain structure and a color a lot like Paduak. Thin, curvy and hard as nails, just look at it! Chef's Kiss! 😚🤌 Good luck to all the bidders!
Winner also gets their choice of new 2024 hats!
