Those look good, and the twisted adze is curious.

Now, as for the specific types of axes I am speaking of,

The first is the Bundaxt (also Bandhacke, Zimmeraxt)

It has a very narrow bit, 2 to 3, 31/2 inches wide, and the head is very long, maybe 8 inches, with a handle about 31 or 32 inches long. This log is used to cut notches, for hewing, log building ,tenon shaping, etc. and excels at the task.

The head is usually straight, but some older examples have a slight bend downward along the length. Also some older examples are a little bit shorter.

These axes may at times have a nail puller on the pol, and a strengthened pol capable of driving pegs and spikes. But these features are not universal.

I will have more later.
