Sure its primarily designed for high moisture content softwoods, not that many of those in Oz. in the old days! & the modern rubbish radiata pine on plantations is all done by heavy machinery Id guess? {replacing even chainsaws.}
It was the standard English pattern felling axe for 200 plus years, but yep for me its just a splitter! Ive added a photo of its other profile.
Sure using a hammer or axe two handed is a full body experience! I always smile when I see people chop wood with just there arms! It looks really hard work!
Those custom axes look great, never seen anything like them before. Id love one! But no good for my splitting firewood of course! I am sure it would damage the edge no end to misuse it such. Am unaware of the racing handle type as well. Ill look into it., sounds interesting.
