Gransfors Bruks, Hulst Bruks? axes

Sometimes I can clean up the wood at the top of the handle by wrapping it with a cord/rope then soaking the cords in a resin or Gorilla Glue. The glue stiffens the rope and keeps it in place so as not to loosen. I can then paint the cord afterwards to help waterproof it. ...

Here it is the night before Christmas... when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ST. NICHOLAS would be bringing me a Gränsfors Carpenter’s Axe!!!

I guess one can keep on dreaming .........

Here is a lucky pawn-shop-find(both ). It looks like it has never been used. ...The initials "JB" are from the craftsman at the factory who forged the axe head.
