Beautiful!

 

[Hornd]

Split for years with a Fiskars 26” Maul.
3-4 Cords a Year.

Huskee puts up Wood Fast.
Gave Wood to 10 people so far this year.
We watch more Fires than We watch TV

My garage Hatchet is a Wetterlings.
I have a Collins or Similar Hatchet in each Car - Functional pieces.

Sawing and Splitting is one of my Favorite Pastimes when it’s cold out.

A Stihl 051 AV.
Bit noisy, but the handle will never break...

Can't say I've given wood to 10 people, or any...but split a lot of hardwood growing up for winter heat. I'd love to see a maul that makes it years without being rehandled, but then again haven't seen a fiskars handle break in any of their axes or hatches. Have gone through a lot of wooden and fiberglass maul and sledge handles.

Split a lot of elm so it was sledge and wedges more often than not. Elm and hickory were the most common. Elm is just terrible.

Elm = Inhumane, but just rent a Splitter for a Day. It has bad smelling smoke, but heat value is good.

Hickory is awesome like Oak.

My buddy’s dad passed and I bought his Craftsman Boy Scout axe at the estate sale. I took it apart, cleaned it, blued the steel, refinished the wood with tung oil and made the leather pieces. I have no idea how old it is.

So tempted to post a pic of my axe.
I've been told to be careful with it, tho I am not Eugene. lol

We'll keep the thread focused on the kind of axes so far posted.
