This is my first old woodsman's cleaver restoration! I am very excited for this one. This is a Scandinavian type of barking tool or bark peeler. Mostly they are shaped as axes, but not so often as a cleaver. I am sure this is a barking tool because I purchased it from a guy who works in the forest. I haven't found any markings on the blade, so it could be homemade.

What I really like about this cleaver is the perfect balance between length and the weight. I am imagining several hours working with it without any arm muscle tiredness. Handle is made from walnut what I got from greece friend 2 years ago. This was his first attempt on lathe. Anyway, join me in this step by step restoration video without power tools and stay tuned until the end to see the result!
