Hello fello axe thowers! Recently there was a discussion regarding favorite broadaxes, adzes, etc., being used for hewing, but I can't find it. Anyone help me out? Or care to add on to this post?
Also, when you're looking at an axe with a left hand or right hand bevel, I assume that these designations are given with the axe in the user's hands at use.... That is, if I were comfortable hewing with the timber on my right side, the flat side of the axe would be on the right, thus creating a left bevel broadaxe??? Sorry, this could sound confusing.
Also, favorite weights of broadaxes???
Thanks in advance, Brock

What is this axe thing you speak of? And why are you posting this here? Hey, Brock! Well, I've been scouring the forum as well, cause I know which thread you're talking about..Tool Forum..? I think.... You have some good questions. This sounds like a job for....The NORTHERN HEWER...da-dada!! I don't know if he'll make it down here, though - we could also put an APB out on Mark... Here, let me try... MARK!!! LET GO OF THE NUNCHUCK!!! STEP BACK FROM THE Wii!!! YOU ARE NEEDED IN THE OTHER VIRTUAL WORLD!!!

Now, now, Derek. Be nice, he's just straying a little, that's all.

Is axe throwing just a game? Could one try it in, say, hunting...? :rolleyes:
I think my viking ancestors may have done so...
Typical viking day with axe: hew a house, hunt some reindeer, and then chop off the heads of the bastards trying to take it all from you...
