Lets use those axes for what they were ment for.

My nephew and I cut a few trees. He swung the double bit Sager, but he really took a liking to the Connecticut. I wussed out and used the Stihl 291. Got a big Locust to drop next weekend I’ll load photos.

Does anyone here use climbing spikes that could share some knowledge. I’m new to spikes but have repelling experience. Thank’s

Sorry, yes, PATC

I was with PATC for over 20 years. A lot of my posts are from Shenandoah NP trails. Chopping that Michigan softwood now.

If it's black locust you might want to save some for handle stock.

Got out one decent day with my newly hafted
Kelly 5 pounder (marked 6 on underside of poll) on about a 34 inch handle. This is a fine chopper and splitter, and handles hickory quite well.

Mucking around a bit with a trunk of a tree I couldn’t finish processing before the weather got bitterly cold. The Cordwood Challenge takes a while. Can’t let a new axe stay new though!

Nice chopping! What axe is that one?

Thank you for the kind words! It’s the FortyTwoBlades-designed Woox Forte axe. It’s a fun axe to swing.
