Forging Viking Age felling AXE. Wrought iron.

#blacksmithing #axe #forging
In this episode of the "SCRAP METAL REPLICA" I show how to forge replica of the early medieval axe. I based on the archaeological find from Ostrów Lednicki (Poland). To forge it I used wrought iron and C55 (1055) steel.

Great! Your work reminds me of Rowen Taylor's historic recreations. You both have a real gift.

When I started my adventure with historical forging, Roven Taylors' videos inspired me.

@@officinaferraria You are a worthy successor since he, sadly, stopped making videos. You have filled a void for sure.

I was wondering why would you use wooden hammers for consolidating a bloom of iron right after pulling it out of the furnace.

[@officinaferraria]

It is important to have during bloom competition a hammer surface as large as possible . The same size steel hammer would weight 50 kg.
