Well, I was pleased with the way this turned out. Here it is with my trust Husqvarna hatchet for comparison.

And this is what I started with. Rather dinged. It doesn't show, but the side without the maker's marks was rather concave almost back to the poll. To be honest, this made me a bit braver, so I went for it despite lacking skill or knowledge. The handle was just cut down from an old, broken one that was lying around.

Despite ending up making the bevel even more wonky than it was in the first place, it did quite well when I had a go at trimming up some wood for carving. An accidental success, despite the lack of finesse.
Cheers,
Leif
