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.
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...
Found this and thought it was pretty interesting too watch....

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.
