True Temper Pulaski - 002
Awaiting Restoration
This authentic True Temper Pulaski has been carefully selected for restoration and is now available to commission through the Padrino workshop.
Rather than purchasing a finished tool from inventory, you're reserving this exact vintage head to be restored specifically for you. Every restoration is completed one at a time using traditional techniques, premium American hickory handles, and carefully selected materials chosen to complement the character of the original tool.
The photographs shown represent this Pulaski exactly as it exists today. Its original patina, honest wear, and decades of working history have been intentionally preserved in these images so you can experience the transformation from workshop condition to finished heirloom.
Once commissioned, this piece will never be offered to another customer.
About This Piece
This vintage True Temper Pulaski remains in remarkably honest condition with strong original proportions and a clearly identifiable maker's stamp. The forged head displays the distinctive combination axe blade and grub hoe that made the Pulaski one of the most recognizable forestry tools ever produced.
The steel shows expected surface oxidation from decades of use and storage, while retaining the character that makes vintage American tools so desirable. The eye remains structurally sound and will be carefully fitted with a new premium hickory handle during restoration.
Every edge, surface, and detail will be individually evaluated before work begins to determine the restoration approach best suited for this particular head.
