Ohh and how much does the head weigh? (Sorry if you already mentioned it but I don't recall.) I recently got a used axe basically for free. The head weighs 1250g. I converted it to a carving/hewing axe even though it's far too heavy. I filed the left bevel as flat as possible to 7 degrees (I'm right handed) leaving the right bevel at 25 degrees. I will saw off the handle at ~40cm. And finally, but most noticably, I shaped the handle ergonomically right under the head. That's where I grab it to chop and carve. Now I can carve wood in a chopping motion, almost like a butcher would use a cleaver, by ignoring/discarding the lever advantage of the handle and only relying on the weight of the head. I use it e.g. to turn square stock round-ish, following up with planes (I don't have a lathe). Or to carve a rounded/spherical end into a beam (my "hatchet" makes quick work of the end-grain and leaves a good surface quality - much like your powerful cloggers knife). My improvised hatchet/hewing axe/heavy carving knife is probably quite un-traditional (if there's a similar traditional tool I'd love to learn the name). And probably a 750g head would work better (lifting the heavy head is still a bit tiring). But it was cheap and works for now. But I always appreciate better (but affordable) suggestions!

I was 14 - sitting with my grandfather. He would point to trees and tell me what he knew they were best for. In the 46 years since then, someone - cut down the trees. I was looking for shovel and axe handles. I was looking for an ash tree. About 4 years ago, I cut and set long maple and oak poles. The first year - my handles turned into cork screws. The second year - I had 2 years of drying time. The handles I made that year held straight. You - allowed me to challenge myself. I have to make a sun wood dryer. Cheers Sir!
