Woodworking Newsletter Vol. 3, Issue 2 November 2008
	From the Collection   The larger of the two axes shown is probably a commercially manufactured axe, the indication being an illegible name stamp just below the large center section, which shows a cross surrounded by garlands. This is a Christian sign and is frequently found on broadaxes (breitbeil). The sign is flanked with the maker's stamp, composed of what appears to be two keys in a circle with a crown placed over the circle. The whole area is decorated with six spoke stamps, which make the sign for the sun or life. The decoration at the bottom of the axe is the tree of life, which has five branches and a blossom.             Go to page: 1 2 3   Other Articles from this Issue   Building a Mission-style Rocking Chair   Make an Automaton   Return to Newsletter Home   What's New in Woodworking   Veritas® Block Planes Veritas® Dovetail Saw Digital Height Gauge Stop Rules   What's New in Gifts   Catapult Kit Notebook LED Light Wireless Weather Station Plus Knife & Firesteel Combo	News & Events         Innovative New Product from Veritas® Tools Inc.
