I am not quite sure what size, as I have never used them, but I know I should have them when I start hewing seriously. I guess they seem to be about anywhere between 1- 3 feet, right? with 3 inch staple ends? The Lee valley ones look decent, have you used these? Let me know what you think. Thanks Mark and NH, tb

A local blacksmith should be competitive.

Gabel,Where do you live that you have a local blacksmith. As far as I can tell blacksmithing is just another one of the trades, like framing, that has been taken over by big business and the industrial revolution. tb

Hello all
timber brained,
I live in north georgia. I know of 4 blacksmiths within 20 miles. Just like us, they are out there. And just like us they need all the help they can get.
cheers,
Gabel

I used to live over your way about 20 years ago. If it still exists, try Sugar Loaf (down near Chester if memory serves me right). It was a colonial village type of setup and they had a blacksmith. You might also try the Historic hugenot settlement in New Paltz as they may have some idea who is in practice.
