I think of a boys axe as being 2 to 2-3/4 pounds, 24"-30" haft and having a boys axe sized eye (2-3/16" x 3/4" +/-). A standard boys axe is a 2-1/4 pound head on a 28" haft.
I would call a 3 pound axe on a 30" handle a light full size axe. I used to have a sweet old Craftsman double oval like that. I gave it to a friend. It was a fine axe. I miss it.
