Guest Writing Competition

Okay, so I want Guest writers.  I've been begging for them.  Thanks to those that have taken part.  I'm upping the ante, but not by much.  I picked up two axe heads at a yard sale today.  One is a single bit Collins, the other is a double bit and it has a nice coat of rust on it so I can't find a name. Both look to be in reasonably unused condition, with the exception of a few dents and dings.

First prize - The Collins head, in as is condition.  Not sharpened, not de-rusted.  It is what it is.

Second Prize - The Double Bit.  Doesn't look used much at all.  Could be K-mart, Could be the holy grail.  Who knows?

Third Prize - Magnesium block and striker.  Not the best, not the worst, brand new.  From Harbor Freight.

The Winners will be announced on Thanksgiving Day, 2010.
