I’ve shown these before, but it’s been awhile.
A pair of 3/4 groove axes. Both personal field finds.
s.e.Minnesota... 10-12 year axe drought, maybe this year I’ll
Find another.

Roughly 3-4 lbs each...

Beauties!

By weight, that's similar to axes still sold at hardware stores. I just got a new 4 lb axe this week to cut out some tree roots.

A flaked edge seems way more suited to felling trees or chopping logs than a ground stone axe.

The flaked edge is sharper. But the ground edge, although duller, holds up better in use.

Dang ant... you’ve been holding out on me.
Any more of them?.... keep um coming.

That's the only "for sure" one I have but this group of pictures and the next are things I put in my "maybe" category. Any opinions by anyone on them are greatly appreciated. Sorry the pictures aren't better; couldn't get the light to cooperate.
