Another great axe conservation project. My dad had a full sized Plumb axe that I learned to cut wood with as a young man.
Went group camping on the beach in high school and impressed the gang chopping up driftwood for a big beach party fire. Good times.

Keep up the videos, axe vids included. They are wonderful things.

Love the original look. Great decision to keep it that way. It's a beauty!!

End product is fantastic!
Excellent preservation!

Looks great. I enjoy the clean-up of tools. It preserves a piece of history. I don't think people realize the importance of that nowadays. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

my dad had a plumb hammer. He is gone now though and I miss him every day!!!

Just beautiful!

I sold a Norland camper just today!

Very nice.  I was surprised how that red came back when you oiled it. Very good clean up.

I like your idea of a cleanup for this axe.  It has a lot of character. Good job!

When it comes to applying linseed oil to wood handles for hand tools or even garden tools, there is a simple formula I use for best results.  I learned this many years ago. Apply as follows. Once a day for a week, once a week for a month and once a month for a year.  It gives amazing results.

It is good to be nice and it is nice to be lucky. Nice video.

Nice clean up/preservation.   I found a nice Plumb half hatchet today at the flea market.   Resin filled top and long maroon handle still in tack.  Nice job.  Jim

Looking good. Nice job. 👍👍❤...

Preservation

Very nice I have only seen 2 with the BSA logo on them, but I was a tad bit younger then 😁 just don't want to admit how old I am getting...

I swung a Plumb rigg are as a kid in Texas came apon your video,thought about those days.thanx

Nice cleanup sir. It looks as close to new as it can look without a total restore! Thanks for the video. 👏📽🇺🇸

Appreciate the additional background on the Plumb. I also like doing minimal restoration and more making them clean and well maintained. It does take some tolerance for the visual wear and use of the tool though.

Turned out great!  It’s good to do a simple clean up like this!
