Haha. You're probably right. I'd give 'er hell though. Of course, it'd be a small one.... Really small.

Very cool Tom! I just dropped a decent sized ash out back over the weekend with an axe for the 2 oldest to experience lol.

That collection is cool as hell man!

Thanks everyone.

Awesome stuff Tom! Really makes me jealous that you're in the Pacific Northwest where double bits can be found fairly easy.

Id trade a double bit for a connecticut pattern or a full sized broad hewing axe.

I've been keeping my eyes open for an old axe since this thread started. They aren't as easy to find as one might think.

I was talking more like garage sales and flea markets. Beer and Hi-Ball are about the only things I pay full price for. Oh, and Fuggen diesel fuel...

This is probably one of the last times i will drag this thread up. I have owned or have restored pretty much every major American brand and pattern of American axe. I sharpen cross cut saws and hang axes for collage timber sport teams, loggers and wildland forest fighters. Im not bragging, its just the extent I have gotten in to the axe thing.

I have a number axes i keep as users and ones that are more obscure that i collect. Recently I have started trading common american double bits for axes with people in England, Scotland, Austraila and now Wales. The Welsh used a some giant felling axes that weighed up to 10 pounds. I recently recieved this Elwell 6.5 pound Welsh felling axe. The eye on this beast is four inches long. It measures eleven inches from pole to bit and has a 6 inch wide blade.

Man thats bad ass! Drag this sucker up all you wish. Or feel free to start one yourself. I'm sure there are others here who would enjoy seeing them.
