And just FYI, this is a broadhead axe. It's only beveled on one side. It's designed to take a large rough beam and shape and smooth it.
Broadaxes were commonly used in manufacture of square timbers for wooden shipbuilding, log building, timber framing, and railroad ties sometimes called axe ties. |
This is mine. About 11 1/2" blade. The red paint is from a Halloween costume.
Someone borrowed my splitting maul years ago and I haven't replaced it. This works for that purpose if the wood is dry enough and small enough.
