I have been asked to make a poleaxe for a gift, since I live in the middle of nowhere the only place I can turn to for construction details is the Web. I would like some input from the members here
Are the heads of a poleaxe hollow (to allow the shaft to fit into them) or solid and the langets (I don't know if I used the right term) the only thing that holds the head in place.
If there is a web page with dimensions and details of pole arms I would love to see it
Thanks |
First, let me say: Welcome Brad!
There is an excellent feature article on this forum called The Medieval Poleaxe.
There are also some do-it-yourself threads that you might find helpful:

There are many other threads to help point you in the right direction. Use the new and improved search function.
