NH:
We have this broad axe head:



And it has this small chip out of it:



Also, as you mentioned the back side does have a small curve to it, as shown here:



So, here are my questions to you.

What can we do about finishing restoring this axe head?

Should we continue to remove metal until this chip is gone?
Or is it usable in this condition?

Also, I've heard from several different notable sources about what size axe head is the best.

One person says a 7" or 8" head is best, and another person says that the 11" or 12" is all they've ever used.

Is one size better than the other, and/or is it totally personal preference...?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
