hey all was wondering if this axe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz5K7d1rXYw which appears easy to make would hold up and be reliable for actual bushcraft use thanks peace out!

If you could only own a few axes for all purposes, what are the ones you’d need? What is the basic ‘kit’ for someone starting out? Not after brands of specs, but feel free to name your gal voters.

Need some advices on a finishing touches here, I’m going for a rustic look any ideas?

Would it be illogical if I cut off the pick on the axe because I use the axe a good amount and it’s really inconvenient to use with the pick in the way

At a reenactment a couple weeks ago, my Council splitter became the favorite axe of the group as we all cooked by fire. Coming home...Ho' boy, there's dents below the head from people overshooting, and camp leaders discouraged a couple folks from trying to chop because it was too heavy for a beginner. As I stock up on another axe or two to loan out, I'm curious what kind would be ideal and safest to leave in the community stump for the weekend?

Length: Stick with 36"? Or is this counterintuitive and a slightly shorter one is safer?

Head weight: My CT was 5 pounds, their Jersey is 3.5. Can't get much lighter without shortening the handle...What's the sweet spot to be the most usable?

Hello! I stumbled across this community and I am looking for some help. I have a couple of acres and I've been trying to cut up down trees with my chainsaw, but I seem to be having nothing but problems with the chainsaw. I would like to switch to chopping up these down trees with an axe instead. I'm sure it will take longer, but I am okay with that. They are soft woods.

I'm 6'3". I am unsure on what the weight and length should be and also even the type of axe.

Any help would be much appreciated!

My husband's best friend gifted him a nice (big) engraved ax as a groomsman gift, and I'm looking for cool display ideas to hang it horizontally above the mantle or his desk at home. I'm thinking like a custom wood shelf type holder... anyone done anything cool they'd share? Or does anyone sell custom displays? Forgive my lack of ax knowledge. It's my first ax.
