Yankee Josh-- I agree with Muleman about pounding wedges with your Norlund. I bought that very same Norland when they first put it on the market. I carried it for many years while felling with chainsaws to--drive the felling wedges! Still have it in case I start logging again (yea sure that might happen)
As for your broad axe hewing, I have talked about both the historic American hewing and my own experience in other posts. If you have never watched the US Forest Service training video "These Old Cabin Logs" you will find a section on broad axe hewing. It takes a lot of hewing to get comfortable and good with it. Keep at it and let us follow along.
