Best Made Company — Hudson Bay Axe

Portable, versatile, and razor sharp.

Designed by Best Made in New York, drop forged in the fires of fourth generation axe makers Council Tool in North Carolina. Made for speed and portability, with canoeists and campers officially in mind. The handle of our Hudson Bay is longer than most, providing greater control when using two hands, and added safety with a farther reach when using one. The Hudson Bay is perhaps the most versatile axe as it combines the strengths of a larger axe for chopping, and the finesse and safety of a smaller one for delicate work.

Saul Bass offers some wise words to think about when working as a designer. Everyone wants to make something appealing, but there is usually something to be sacrificed for that. This made me think of the unattainable triad and how it applies to the design industry. You can have high quality, delivered quickly, but it will cost more. You could deliver quickly with a good price, but the quality will suffer. You could provide a good price with high quality, but the delivery time will lengthen. When it comes to working as a designer, there is typically a consideration of balance between money, time and quality.

I stumbled upon the work of Andrew Neyer today. He has a great and inspiring body of work. He is using all sorts of different mediums and he really looks like his having fun with the work he does. He also spends his free time making furniture. If thats not the dream life, i don’t know what is.

Be sure to check out his shop, he has some killer shirts and prints.
