SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[ajschainsaws]

I think that is a very kind and generous offer on your part ! I was thinking about ordering that book.
what does it cost to send things across the pond ? I have one I could send your way if you don't have it already..... "To Fell A Tree"

I will check tomorrow at the mail office but only a few bucks i would say

I got this book and I’ve read it and enjoyed it very much what I was going to do was ship it out to one of you guys on the axe thread you can read it take what info you needed , then post it onto the next person who follows this great thread

I reinvested some tree cutting funds. Lol
I have been hand splitting for 40 years with cheap tools. I figured I owed it to myself. Lol
Now I gotta get more tree jobs. Lol
Snow is putting a damper on it. [emoji52]

Lol. Several have tried to get that one every time I have it out. Especially at scout camps. I broke the original handle out of it a couple years ago and put a straight handle in it which I don’t really like as well.
