Have you posted a picture of it?
Many times, just to get @davidwyby 's blood racing.

Does anyone know what brand axe this is? It in excellent condition except it's painted orange all over.

That was my first thought but when I googled it I found this council logo.

It’s a Council Tool axe, Jersey pattern. Some of their stamps are just plain ugly, and this is one of them.

They’re probably the best value on the market right now, by far. Made in NC.
Thanks for the information. The stamp had me a bit confused. Just didn't look quite like the ones I saw online. I found it in my dad's building behind some old scrap lumber. I didn’t know he even had it. He passed away in 1999. I only knew of one true temper axe he had and it's still hanging on the wall where he left it.

His stamp is crisp and clear, compared to my council jersey.

It's a tool not a display piece, so it does not bother me.

Just picked these up as perks of working at a stihl dealer.... we get points for stuff from stihl for selling equipment...

Both are not actuualy stihl, but Oxenkopf (spelling? LOL) built axes, 2500g pro splitter and the 600g hatchet

I looked at several images online and there were a lot of differences in them. That's why I wasn't sure what i had. I was excited to find it because it's made in my home state. I was a little disappointed that someone painted the whole thing. I'm puzzled as to where it came from and why it was leaned up against the back wall with boards in front of it.

I bought a Pro Splitting axe probably… 7 years ago, and while this may sound hyperbolic, it has been one of the better purchases I’d made in my entire life. The short handle and lighter head make splitting smaller rounds a lot less tiresome than my 8 pound maul on a 3 foot handle, especially if I can get them off the ground onto a chopping block.

6lbs is the bee’s knees…however I’m not big on short handles cuz it seems like the head wants my knees…
