Some time ago I made another bearded axe from a cheap large axe I bought. Again, I cut the form with an angle grinder, finishing the job with belt sander and some filing. I used the original shaft, only cleaned and stained it. Oh, I also blued the head.
it's not meant to be historically accurate. Fun and quick project to make.
