hi Gabel:

Thanks for the interest,it does me good to sit here and think of tales related to me by my father, especially those that pertain to the logging and just plain bush work, as well as I suspect a few tall tales, of which there were many.
One that I remember about working in the bush was that he really loved his horses, and had one that was trained to snake out logs by himself. One man usually my Granfather would stay in the bush and prepare a log while the horse after being chained to one would deliver it to the skidway. One man there would unhook and send him back for another. My dad said that my Granfather could easily chop down and limb up a a new one by the time he arrived back at his site.
This would go on all day--no chain saws--just axes, and cross cut saws.

I hope you enjoy

Hi all: especially
Ralphael Swift

I finally was able to take time to weigh the broadaxe together with its handle, it weighs exactly 8 pounds.
This is the first time that I ever weighed one of our family broadaxes. I hewed timber for a period of approximately 30 years not really knowing what the broadaxe that I used weighed. My own personal axe is 1" wider on the cutting edge, it is 10", it weighed in at 7.5 pounds with its handle also.
I hope this information is what you are looking for

Please note that if anyone is interested in any further information concerning this family heirloom broadaxe please send me an Email.

Also please note that The bidding process is extended until the end of May, and then will end.

Thanks to all that have responded.
