Zornes Virginia Axe

This is a Virginia axe that Larry Zornes made back in 2006. I reviewed it in "Prime Possibles" in the Jan/Feb 2007 issue. It's a replica of one found in a 1750s fortified house in Virginia. Larry made the mold that the heads are cast from. This particular head was also heated and forged to draw and pack the edge. The head measures 5-7/8" long.

Larry runs the Mold and Gun Shop in Jackson, Ohio, where he sells gun parts and kits, primarily trade guns, and makes gunlock and axe molds (among other things) for himself and other suppliers.
