Paul lives in Whitefish, MT with his wife and kids. He spends his days mastering the balance between family, outdoor recreation, remodeling his home, and bringing life to old steel with bespoke axe handles and custom leather work. His passion for axe craft grew from the need to quiet his mind and find a productive outlet. He wanted to build something with his hands, and have complete control of the outcome. His newest endeavor is encouraging and enabling others to build an axe of their own. Aside from his custom projects, Paul now sells premium American Hickory handles precision lathed from some of his favorite designs that he’s mastered through making hundreds of axes from scratch over the years. Paul is a perfect example of “failing forward”, showing relentless perseverance and dedication in the face of whatever life throws at you to build the life you want.
