When Huricane Hanna moved near the Carolinas, the wind brought down a tall pine onto my backyard (thank God I didn't have my fence up yet). Anyway, being from NYC from birth 'til joining the Army, I had never handled an Axe before. I bought one from Lowes and went about reducing the felled tree to a bunch of firewood. It was not only a great workout, but it used similar principles to those used when I practice with my bokken. Now, I'm thinking of purchasing a quality cutting katana in order to begin performing tameshigiri. But, I have a newfound respect for my trusty axe.
BTW, Bill, do you recommend anyone that makes katanas?
