What do you use, if you use one? I found a little 1 3/4 pound axe in my collection of stuff so put an edge on it yesterday and made a couple of test housings in a block of scrap. It worked quite nicely. It is small, but it seems to be very controllable. I've used the GB forest axe at Heartwood, also a nice sharp little axe. I'd be interested to hear about what others are using.
