- Hand carving a wood sheath for a Billnas 61.1 axe. Open the full video description for more information.
The axe head is one of the smallest of the common mass produced finnish collared axes. Not mass produced any more.
--------------------------------
Materials: Birch burl, cherry wood, fat wood, tung oil.
--------------------------------
I did make the handle by boiling in water and using a snake head wedge - Finnish style... Just like I show in this video • Finnish collared axe r...
---------------------------------
Most asked questions:
1. why use burl and not just regular wood?
Burl makes a stronger sheath - be course it's the oppesite of straight grain wood (regular wood) is it a lot more difficult for the axe to split the sheath by mistake. Burl also just looks great. You can make the same sheath in straight grain wood - no problem, burl is just better. I did use birch burl in this case - you can use all kinds of burl.
2. Why use fat wood for the lock?
It makes the very small piece of wood very strong, but you can use regular wood as well - no problem.

You are shaking up the CZcams Bushcraft community, Bertram. Keep up the good work dude.
You mentioned in another video that you do all your own video work. As a professional photographer for over 40 years I just want to tell you that your not only an amazing Bushcrafter but your sense of composition and camera work are amazing also. Ill bet most people have no idea how much work and though go into each shot your make.
Great work Rune
I agree, the burl wood makes it more beautiful. I did a similar sheath for my hook knife, but I didn't think to make a video out of it. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this quiet moment. Amazing vid.
Your work and designs continue to amaze me. Thanks for making these vids!
Love it mate. Excellent job and I really like the way it was all done outside using basic tools. Great job 🖒🖒

Thank you very much for a awesome video and lesson!!!

Thank you for another great video Bertram. I seem to like all the things you do :D and am very curious about your woodworking and metalworking setup. I keep trying to freezeframe and figure out uses for all your sawhorses and blacksmiths hammer and stuff but would really love a tour maybe and some explanations and examples about how you put them to good use.
Keep up the good work!!! And a Happy New Year!!!
Wow... That's amazing.
Very cool.. great job
Thanks for the video

Pretty good
Awesome skill my brother!
Dejligt at se dit arbejde igen. Det er super det du laver. Der er nogen der laver en masse selfie her på youtube, det kan da ikke siges om dig. Super godt.
Awesome!
beautiful
Eres el mejor!!! Saludos desde Chile.
I Like Your Videos!!
Classy work indeed. Your choice to remain silent may seem a little odd at first but it becomes clearer as one watches that your interest is not about projecting yourself, but in your style of making items and living outdoors. In your recent videos Denmark looks very like parts of Scotland at this time of the year, after all the two places are almost neighbours, separated only by a relatively small sea. Nice work, as always.
nice work )
Wow nice work 😊
Great video!
Canadian prepper just mentioned you in his vid '13 skills to survive the economic collapse'.
Wow. Pure WOW.
Good Job, good channel. Congratulations
Nice project.
Damn that’s a lot of work, but worth it. Thank You
Nice
Nice at all
I love that axe of yours
God job. Congrats from Brasil
I like it
Not sure I would use this. Great craftsmanship though and as always a great video 😁
Really good job and very intelligent 😍😍
Wow eres increíble, buen vídeo saludos desde México amigo
I love your voice in every video
simple amazing! i catn wait next buchcraft:))) hapy new year
Another great video as always, I've not seen a swivel cover like this used for anything other than a box before now. Using it for an axe sheath is really not one I'd have thought of, but I do like the end result. Be interested to see if you have problems over time with the lock coming loose as the pieces of wood shrink and expand etc.
Thanks
Great 👍🏻
Спасибо! С большим удовольствием посмотрел.
Never nice it"s amazing what items one person can make out of nothing. Amazing!!!
Really nice !
I think you should have work more on the finnish along the edges for the two halfes.
Because everything else you do is so perfect.
Amd again, your video is a wonderful stress-remover 😊
Молодец! Без пиара,понтов! Умеет делать и созидать!
bravissimo!
Cool
احسنت مبدع وفنان
atmosphere of your vids is amazing! and of ourse work is really impressive. atb from Russia
Bom trabalho brother...Brasil🙏
It’s beautiful friend. Perhaps a little awkward taking so much room and could become brittle. But an absolute beautiful piece of art. Leather sheath are hard to beat. But for that particular hatchet it is gorgeous. Very nice
Keep the great videos coming
Happy trails 🇺🇸
Luke
Strange your comment is complementary but insulting at the same time. typical.....
Mike Stanton
I did not mean to be critical at all, it’s absolutely beautiful. I was just saying that leather is much more durable. I love this channel and I love the show. I use my aXe for very practical use, not reenactment. If I used a wood sheath it would break very quickly. That was my point, but if I had a beautiful hatchet like he did, I would make the same one he did and it would be on my wall. It’s beautiful.
I commented You're a great guy
Mucha agilidad para la madera y las herramientas con filo. De admirar
SMART BROTHER
eres la caña!!!!
wow great channel and video :) like +1
People comment on you teaming up with other youtubers, I think that would be a mistake on your part. You would have nothing to gain by that. You are well above those people to begin with, in every way. Don't fix what is not broke. Don't fall for the typical media trappings that will ruin your art. You are far above those personality cults. People who suggest you team up with other youtube celebrities are entirely missing the point of your youtube project in which case has many many layers.
Tramontane Tramontane agreed!! He is just crushing it on his own with real skills not backyard bushcraft. So sick of gear reviews and guys always talking about new kit. Don't change a thing you will hit a million subs in record time doing what you are doing!
Rune, love your videos! Really intrigued by your blacksmith setup. Is it possible to do a video on creating a forge like yours?
Thanks. Maybe - I don't need to build one more forge... but will probably make one outdoors next sommer and make that into a video. But in case I am going to build one more indoors like the one I am using now - will I tun it into a video. Any how I will for sure make a lot more videos forging something in the shop and if you look close will it give you a good idea about how I made it.
Yes, i have been pausing the video and trying to look very close at how the forge is built in some of your older videos. It looks like you used a steel plate with a fire pot, and a lot of fire bricks? Anyway, definitely looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks for getting back to me Rune!
@@chirla_j Yes that is what I used for the forge.
I'll to try make like this at my home
Bereh droeneuh Tgk, :D
@@piramida99 Nyan. Soe nyoe. Hehehehe
hahaa,,peu soe, awak nanggroe :D
Greetings from Germany !
Nice work, it's the first time that I see a wood sheath! Is it typical of the Nordic countries or simply your idea? Greetings from Italy.
Thanks. Yes it's common here in Scandinavia - but the traditional ones was a lot more simple... This design is a pretty new thing wood workers have started to make for they tools.
por este video me suscribo gran trabajo digno de ver
I just woke up and saw the thundering thinking the sheathe was made of bread slices.
