Looks good brother. I never use wood glue on my wood wedges. I drive them in dry and put linseed oil on after it trimmed up. Been doing it that way for 40 years and haven't ever had a problem. It makes it easier when you have to change also. I drill a small pilot hole in the wedge and use a srew with a slide hammer to remove the wedge. On an axe or a sledge hammer i use a metal wedge going with the grain of the wood.

Great job!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Axe looks pretty darn good. I really love using waxes on my handles and using some steel wool to help even out the bluing when you rinse it. Give Real Milk Paint Co and look and a Japanese pull saw for trimming the wedge. Dig the handle at the end as well! 🤘

Thank you. Wow, I have never heard the steel wool method with bluing. I'm definitely going to have to try that. i will check out the paint co. Too. Thanks

Very nice. I have never had a problem with any hang that i don't use glue on. BLO becomes sticky enough.
