Building my tool portfolio

After my previous post about the axe heads and shaving horse.  I wanted to share the draw knife I purchased off of eBay.  It took a while to find one that was going to be useful as a functional tool, not just a display piece.

I sharpened it using 800 grit and 6000 grit stones then cleaned up the rust with some oil and steel wool.  I think I might give the handles some tung oil to protect them a bit, but we shall see.

Now I have all the stuff I need to make my axe handles.  That should happen in the next couple days.
