axe

Cleaning up the files around here this fall and found some snapshots of the tree that some wind tipped over in front of my shop a few years ago.
It was blocking the driveway so I bucked it by hand to get it into chunks that could be moved.
The axe is a seven lb. Australian single bit set up by the late Jim Alexander, one of the old (great) world Champions in professional timber sports.
Jim used my belt grinders to do the foundation grinding then finished it by hand stoning.
Jim was from Australia but traveled North America during the summer to compete. He is the one that helped me learn how use an axe a little better than when I was logging.
