Ken --that's a good point. To all of us who were there, it was immediately apparent that Mr. Beaudry had his hands full demonstrating with the log that was provided. (No offense meant to Dan who in the midst of organizing the conference found a free log for Mike to hew).

As for my impressions of the T axe -- I would love to have one (but I am a bit of an axe collector). Gransfor's replica is extremely well made and nice to use. It is super light weight. I think it would be easy to leave a nice finish with it by making a final pass. It would not be my main axe, but something fun to pick up occasionally.
