It's to cold to dive up here so I'm digging in the mud. The hook has me stumped.

I would guess it's a pickaroon. They were used for moving short logs and such around I do believe...d2

The picaroons I am familiar with had an axe head on one side and a sharp point on the other. It looks like part of a canthook to me.

I looked at some pics online.I think d2 may be correct.

I think Cant Hooks would swing on the cant to roll the logs .Years ago I worked in a saw mill that cut railroad ties we used a tie hook to move them around they were flat on one end so you could pound a "S" iron in the ends of the ties to keep them from splitting and pointed on the other to stick in the tie.

It's a pickaroon, still in use today. I worked in a mill for 31 years, and we used pickaroons a lot, every day.

Here is a pickaroon.

And here is a cant hook and a peevy.
A is the cant hook, B the peevy.

Believe it or not, that's called an "axearoon."

I'm not picturing a hopeful brave with an armload of beaver pelts, in this picture.

You are correct Bosn.I have been incorrectly calling an axeroon a picaroon my entire life . I agree that it is a picaroon
