Women With Axes

I was looking through my favorites and found this one as well.


Here are some screens I took trying to figure out what kind of axe she was using.

I came across this when I was following up on the Cordwood Challenge. Good explanation an effective splitting technique with an innovative axe.

After admiring the woman's lean and muscular frame you can't help but notice the hand-crafted haft on that racing axe. No one spent any more time than was absolutely necessary in carving that one out!
 
Hauntedchild that made me laugh for some reason.

"Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your saw has two handles"

Respectfully of course :)

*I'd probably slow her down.

She is demonstrating that her 'twist' method doesn't cause the axe to strike the ground. The rocks illuminate that fact.

In reality you don't actually have to twist the axe just at impact. You just have to have the axe held at the right angle at the moment of impact. The proper angle causes the axe to first bite, then lay over, transferring its forward momentum into sideways splitting power. This is the same thing that Tom Clark did with his 'Buster' splitting axe. You can do this with any well balanced axe, double bit, rafting axe, etc.
 

Girl and axes. Not a classic but looks like she has done it enough to stick them both.
