Axe whittling an ash handle for Finnish viking age axe part II.MOV

I'm using only a broad blade axe to cut an axe handle from a piece of ash wood. I ran out of memory and had to make another video to show the axe whittling in action. If you want to try this, make sure the axe is sharp, grab the axe at the head and angle the axe so it doesn't bite too deep. It's a great way to work fast with wood but still with control and safety. It's similar to knife whittling but is much faster and lets you planish it into planks. For explanation of the project see part I.
