Thursday evening my buddy James and I were lucky enough to attend Best Made Co.’s Axe workshop.  With my Hudson Bay Axe in hand, not only was I able to sharpen my knowledge but I was also able to bring my tool up to grade.

From Minnesota, to Chicago, to Belfast, and on down to Texas, Best Made Co’s famous axe restoration workshop has been around the world, and now they’ve brought it back home with an evening workshop at 36 White Street. Hosted by resident axe expert Nick Zdon at the helm, the workshop offered an overview of axe history, design, maintenance, and featured a of demo of handle replacement and hands-on sharpening instruction.
