I went out to a tool dealer out in the sticks a few weeks back but never got photos up due to computer problems. Managed to get a few pics uploaded to photo bucket this morning.
These are the 3 snow & nealley axes I picked up, I paid 5 dollars for all three. The handles I made myself, all 3 are sugar maple. From left to right, 3 pound on 29 3/4 inch handle, 2 3/4 pound on 30 inch handle, and a 2 pound on 26" handle. The 3 pound is very nice, I've been using it a good deal lately.
Also got this Simonds 315 sway back crosscut. This is after filing and a cleaning. These were marketed as combo felling and bucking saws for hard woods. I filed it for both hard and soft woods. Shown with original loop handles.
