Here is a pretty good story about Lentz with good shot of an axe:

Big Jim Alexander from Australia was also a friend of mine who spent plenty of time in the shop here too. Jim passed away this year. TR, Jim's hands were fully 1.5 inches wider than mine.
Now, having read that, I will say that Lentz is a tough guy.

Doesn't look that big though.

Alexander must have been a monster.
