 At least you didn't have to do that because your chainsaw was stuck  ;D.

Ive got a few interesting axes. I plan on putting my John Neeman american felling axe to work this spring for the very first time.

That's a nice looking axe.  I just went and checked it out.  That's a serious curve on the handle.  I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.  

This handle's unusual shape tells you about its Baltic origins. Over-all the axe has no relation to those axes but handles with this peculiar inward sweep at the grip are standard on typical axes of some of these northern Baltic countries, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and so on and so on but not so much Sweden. It tells you one thing geographically, Finland is not part of Scandinavia.
