    A lot of people don't understand what an axe is really capable of because they've used/seen others use axes that are just plain dull. Geometry is also super important when it comes to wood

    👌that's the good stuff. Especially those Mullers. And that strange Italian slip fit. And the giant Brades. They're all great.

    Thank you Brother for your time..knowledge and dedication. As a young man I worked with my Father clearing land in North Carolina and Illinois. I'am a stone/brick mason by trade. But I have always loved the felling strategies and tools used. Your channel provides the education and techniques that I never learned...until now!! Your approach and experience is the best I have found...You are at the top of the game.. I can't say enough....Again thank you for the gift...Godspeed to you and your family...Much Respect from St Petersburg Florida...

    When felling a tree with an axe you can hear the tree crackle, along with its surroundings. Its very important and great for safety, something that is difficult with the sound of a chainsaw.

    I love a good sharp ax but for what a competition chopping ax used on that larger tree costs you can buy a decent chain saw. I've split my share of fire wood over the last 55 years glad I didn't have to cut it to length with an ax

    Awesome brother 👍. Is that a felling axe or a liming axe? To be honest I don’t know the difference. Is it about length of the handle or weight of a axe head?

    • @benscottwoodchopper
      @benscottwoodchopper  Před rokem +7

      There isnt really a hard definitive difference but typically a good limbing axe is very thin and 1kg, felling axes are 1.5kg plus and have wedge geometry

      By the way: I got myself a mueller biber and already thinned the handle. I am already quite happy with it but I think one could get even more performance out of the axe.
      If you wanted to use it to cut down lots and lots of young birch trees then how would you mod the head? just a Scandi with a microbevel?
