Thought you all might enjoy this very old depiction as well
This is from the Bayeux Tapestry, which was likely made in England in the 1070's (though alternate theories abound) The depiction is of ship carpenters building the Norman invasion fleet. It should be noted that these Normans in this picture are little removed from the Vikings, as the Normans are descended from Scandinavians that settled in Normandy. The types of tools shown in this depiction are known from Scandinavian sources. For example, the broad axe shown is nearly identical to one found in Denmark, of which Gransfors Bruks produces a replica version. The axes used, one might notice, are also remarkably similar in profile to the Scandinavian Forest Axe also produced by Gransfors.
Of interest here is the man seated on a timber that he is hewing, which is only supported on 1 end
