Handful of Axe Questions...Profiling/Restoring

They're looking good Zatch. I would really ask yourself what you plan to use them for. The thinner cheeks are better for carving and chopping while the more wedge shaped tend to be good splitters. I would just sharpen them and use them a bit before you try to thin down the cheeks or do serious reprofiling. After using them some you will have a better idea what you like and don't like and more importantly probably realize what purpose you will use that axe for. After that evaluation you can take to thinning and reprofiling them to fit your needs. Sometimes you'll be surprised at the performance of an axe without a lot of work. Good luck and keep us updated.
