Axes

Axes are one of mans oldest hand tools. With axes man has built massive civilizations that have stood the test of time. Axes come in many different shapes and forms and can be used in almost any job. The different forms of axe heads serve different purposes. The double bit axe head for example was and still is used in logging. One side of the double bit was kept sharper then the other and is used to chop at the inner wood of the tree in order to fell it. The other side of the axe head is kept a little dull and is used to chop through the bark of the tree and cut at any roots that may need cutting.
