I have a dozen axes but I still covert a 2 1/2lb - 3 lb double bit cruiser axe; however divorce will soon follow!!!

I'm on the lookout for a 2.5 lb cruiser. Seems the perfect tool for me. I have a 3.5lb valley forge double bit i need to re helve too come to think of it.

Now then, a handle. I'm leaning towards a modded pickaxe handle with an oak wedge.

Is it wrong to covet a GB double bit working axe so strongly?

It does tend to bring the primeval out in you doesn't it

Just to buck the Gransfors trend I wouldn't mind a bash with the Ox Head Champion Chopping Axe. Not sure I want to actually own one as I don't fancy myself as a timbersport lumberjack but I'd like a go with one.

Other than that I manage fine with a chainsaw and maul, a posh felling axe might be nice but its not much actual use to me.
