Better than i had expected, i think it's because of the slighly longer handle on it!
Thank you

Light head, long handle - works well as a rule - plenty of torque. Not great at splitting, but good cross cutting penetration. A very lovely axe - reminiscent of the old trade axes

Where is the balance point?

With a less-convex bevel, I reckon that head would be a fantastic light carver for small work.

Oow, very very pretty work. As said before, a little trade axe look about it which I love. Make more !!!

Balance point is about 6 cm from the head. Thank you
