How To Make A Viking Bearded Axe (Skeggox) From An Old Axe - Metalworking

I wanted to make a simple axe restoration.

But as I was grinding the axe head, I discovered many cracks. The head was very old and rusty but I didn't noticed when I bought it in a flea market last summer it was that damaged. I tried to weld it, and fixed some of them, but one was on both side and couldn't be fixed just by welding it.

I almost gave up on the restoration, but decided to make a Viking Bearded Axe out of it, cut the damaged parts and reshape it. And it turned out pretty well.

Engraving the handle was very time consuming but in the end, it was totally worth it.
