Yes, I've been following her progress on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/saxonship - fascinating stuff. You can even pay to own one of the iron rivets holding her together.

 

But not - NOT - a Viking ship. She's Anglo-Saxon (well, Anglian, actually).:P

By the way, you can see two of these finishing axes (and one "woodaxe" - far left), plus another, short-handled axe, an awl and a bow-drill in this panel from the Bayeux Tapestry -
