First axe I ever used was a single head boys axe. Used it a bunch to learn how to use the tool properly. Moved up to a double head axe, but really not much. Still today I prefer the boys axe I like an 8 pound splitting maul for big wood. We had a 6 pound, but the big wood works better with an 8 I think. Never sharpened one, but did reshape it just as you did. Never used an axe for splitting wood, they stick to much for the way I swung it. Iron sharpens iron for sure. You can dull an axe with the same file you sharpen with. Thanks for the video bud. Spring!!! Me too!
I like my 8lb maul, it does a good job. I’m gonna rehang the old 6lb head as soon as I find a new handle and use it some, it might not wear me out as quickly. Plus I will enjoy the nostalgia of using it. Every swing will bring back good memories of my Dad and Granddad. Same here trying to split wood with an axe. Looks like yall got some snow out that way. I pray yall are doing well.

Love this video. I grew up in East Tennessee and I’ve got a go devil from my dad.
Thank you kindly! You grew up across the mountain from me then! Beautiful area. Thank you again for the kind comment.

@8thdaychronicles yep, 8 1/2 inches in one day. Way to much for Arkansas. Warmed up today, 40 degrees, roads are passable.
Thanks for the prayers bud.
