Found these two axe types about 30yards apart on some old family land. My mom's family has been in the logging business for as long as anyone can remember. The "box axe" is 12inches long and was used to make notches in pines I believe to draw sap out. I believe the bush axe was just an old bush axe! Both are pretty cool!
I also found this blade nearby and have cleaned it up since. Cannot for the life of me figure out what it could be. It's 16" long and sharpened on one end. There is a single hole about 6" from the sharpened edge and past that it appears blunt. It is tapered in width from end to end however. I have checked to see if it matches old mule plow pieces and other old farm stuff but no match. I thought it was some sort of sword at first but it really doesn't resemble anything. I'm thinking it's a homemade job from some piece of metal. But the fact that it's tapered so well really throws me off. If anyone has any ideas about it I'd love to hear them!
