IATC Homecoming Axe Market 2026
We had a wonderful time this year at the 2026 International Axe Throwing Championship, near Toronto in Pickering, Ontario!
It was a bright sunny day again this year and the Homecoming Axe Market was buzzing with excitement. We got to watch the Wilson Cup Finals, seeing competitors from across North America, Europe, and Australia duke it out for the Wilson Cup trophy and a $9,400 USD cash prize!
Roarockit demonstrated our axe handle building method, using vacuum lamination - and supplied special colour veneer packs, kits, tools, and materials. We had a great time meeting all of the amazing makers and competitors!
At many of the vendor tables, we saw our coloured maple veneer featured in the handmade axe handles made by our axe-maker friends. Again this year, we saw many creative designs that were intricately laced with curves, book-matched layers, and interesting patterns, mixed in with plain maple or other woods.
As always, the community spirit was electric and we met so many wonderful and welcoming people from all around the world. Thank you to IATF for hosting such an amazing event for us all!
