I need an axe. Firewood is necessary (this'll be for next winter, granted...)
So. I want an axe. There are some little oak trees at my farm begging to be turned into firewood, and a chainsaw is no fun.
I've used a bunch, through Bonfire at A&M. Some are good, some are not. Some let the head fly off into the freaking woods.
I want a wood-handled axe, that holds a good edge.
Double bit axes are fun, but I kinda like single-bit better, mostly for the handle.
Recommendations? And these 200-dollar axes with bright paint on the handles I've seen in Men's Journal and Outside are out of the question. It's a working tool... I'm just going to wrap the ass end of the handle in cotton athletic tape anyway.
so. Good axes, easy to find, wood handle, not outrageously expensive. Suggestions?
