Big little and groovy

[quito]

just thought I’d post the largest and smallest grooves hammer I have.

The large one, a 3/4 groove, I rescued from a farmer friend who was using it for a garage door stop. It weighs 13.5 lbs . The second I found a couple miles away above the same river and it weighs in at a whopping 3.6 ounces.

anyone else is sure welcome to post their big big and small grooved pieces

Growing up on a farm that, I still own at 77 years of age, we found several axes/hammers but none the size of the first one. The ones we have are not the same shape as these shown. It's obvious they were hafted tools but I still, at that primitive stage, wonder how could they have constructed strong enough hafting to work. I've chopped and split many, many,cords of wood and it takes a healthy swing with a sharp iron ax. I give them my admiration.
