Log Home Center and Supply

[Woobie]

BLUF: Nurpu is no longer in business, Log Home Center and Supply still is, Kevin is still the owner, they carry a variety of Gransfors Bruks and Wetterlings axes.

So I was looking for a local place to get my hands on a Gransfors Bruks and/or a Wetterlings. Stumbled across an old thread on here saying you could get them from Nurpu Outdoors in Noblesville. Sadly, they are no longer in business. But the Owner, Kevin, still runs the Log Home Center and Supply at the same location. I walked in, saw Wetterlings and Gransfors Bruks of various sizes on the wall. Kevin came out and was very helpful, answered my questions, and educated me a bit. Very friendly and cool guy. He took my name down for a GB Small Forest Axe that should be shipping in in a couple of days or so. Overall, I'm pretty excited about the new axe, and happy with my interaction with this company.

They are great folks with good prices. I was sad to see nurpu go. Was a great little local shop but glad the log home store still has axes for sale

I have bought a bunch of items from there in the past, but had no idea that they sold quality axes...I'll have to go back in and check it out. I pass by there twice a day on my commute.

So I picked it up today! It is awesome. Looks like it was made by Tobias Thelin, who from the picture in the Axe Book seems to be the young man in the shop. But comparing it to some of the others, his work is top notch. I took it to the flange of a scrap I-joist on a job site. Wow, can this thing cut.

Yes they are crazy sharp and great cutters. One of the most useful tools out there imo. The small forest axe is plain awesome.

Yes it is. I split a 4-5" log with it last night, did some more chopping around for a few minutes, and it is still shaving sharp. I saw the thing in a nutnfancy review on wilderness axes, and looked here to see what people thought. Sure enough, the axe and tomahawk savvy on INGO, yourself in particular, had nothing but great things to say about them. So you are definitely one of the main reasons I own this fine implement.

Haha glad I could be of assistance

Wranglerstar on youtube has done a few different videos on axes. If anyone doesn't already know that. Some good information in a few of his uploads. But now he is doing vlogging so I don't watch as much.

Yes you do. Yes you do.

GB axes are amazing. I've been meaning to go back to the Log Home shop since Nurpu closed. This is mine, it's their smallest offering (hatchet) but it's super sweet.

Sweet hatchet! Yeah, this axe is good at cutting, but not scratching itches. Now I want a hunters axe and Scandinavian Forest Axe. Their wedges are awesome, but $80 is a bridge too far for me, considering you need 2 or 3.
