I used Renaisance wax on the wood. Sometimes it works. It was really deep in the silt so it might hold up.

If axes could only talk.... Very nice. How deep down & in the mud?

This is a great axe, but how is it related to the War of 1812 again?

Clearing the woods for the farmers to see who coming

Seriously, I hope you can preserve that wood & update us with the makers mark info? Cool piece!

it's probably referential with the other finds from the specific area.

Thanks everyone! I am having good luck with what is left of the handle....so far. I am rotating it in olive oil and waxing it. So far I have found out that "ASH" probably stands for the type of handle. Any help finding the maker STONES would be great. Found in Eastern Lake Ontario.View attachment 623550
