May have been posted before not sure.

If you're a axe/hatchet crazed nut like myself, here is a great site loaded with info regarding:

1. History
2. Types of axes and their uses
3. Techniques of use (limbing, hewing, splitting ect...)
4. How to maintain (hanging, sharpening ect...)
5. How to choose an axe/hatchet (bit and handle selection)

ect......

It was written by Bernie Weisgerger, an historic preservation specialist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

Especially if you're an axe noob however it's worth a look even for us axe crazies.

If you are at all into axes/hatchets, it's worth it. All info you can find if you look, but compressed into one site.
