"Part ode, part how-to guide, American Axe is a fascinating look at the essential tool." - Popular Mechanics "Entertaining, endlessly fascinating, and a work of genuine scholarship. I've read a lumberyard-full of books related to the outdoors, but can think of only a scant handful that measure up to this one." -- David E.

Axes and American Ingenuity Chapter 1: Ancient Axes That Spawned an American Industry Chapter 2: Axes for the Art of Homesteading Chapter 3: Axes from the Golden Age of Axe-Making Chapter 4: Modern Axes Chapter 5: Restoring Vintage Axes Chapter 6: Playing with Sharp Objects Index
Synopsis
From hand-forged axes of the Viking conquests to the American homesteader's felling axe, this is a tool that has shaped human history like few others. American Axe pays tribute to this iconic instrument of settlement and industry, with rich history, stunning photography, and profiles of the most collectible vintage axes such as The Woodslasher, Keen Cutter, and True Temper Perfect. Combining his experiences as a forester, axe collector, and former competitive lumberjack, author Brett McLeod conveys the allure of this deceptively simple woodcutting implement and celebrates the resurging interest in its story and use., From bronze axes of the Viking conquests to the American felling axe, which allowed homesteaders to clear land, build and heat their cabins, and fence their livestock, the axe is a tool that has shaped the world like few others. Over the course of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were more than 1,000 different axe makers who engaged in a fiercely competitive market, resulting in an endless array of axe designs with impressive names such as The Woodslasher, Champion, Best Axe, Legitimous, Keen Kutter, Northern King, and the True Temper Perfect. Today, these vintage axes are being resurrected by both wood cutters and collectors captivated by their quality, beauty, and lore. In this photo-rich book, competitive lumberjack and avid axe collector Brett McLeod delves into the origins and usage of this deceptively simple woodcutting instrument, from its basic anatomy to the axe's journey from Europe to America, where dense forests shaped its -- and the continent's -- unique future. With profiles of the most collectible vintage American axes, an exploration of famous log cabins and the axes and techniques that created them, a guide to the art of collecting, restoring, and using a vintage axe, and -- for the truly adventurous -- an overview of axe games and an axe-throwing how-to, American Axe offers a fascinating tribute to this historic hand tool., Woodsman and forester Brett McLeod pays tribute to the axe with stunning photography and illuminating text that traces this historic hand tool's evolution in form and function through North American culture and history.
