Hi Tim,

Its worth taking a look at the Bayeaux tapestry where you will see embroidered illustrations of tee hewing axes in use by the Normans as they prepared planks for their invasion ships. One has to take care about interpretation of such historic artefacts because they reckon that this tapestry was actually put together by the English (its their story after all) and so they would have used images about which they were familiar and therefore these illustrations might not necessarily have been Norman axe illustrations but more English axes. There is one in Winchester city museum. Do you have a digi pic of Mike's Tee axe ?
