Oh go on then. Here's my motley selection.

These are the 4 I use most for woodworking purposes. Top to bottom: Spear and Jackson jack of all trades for heavier jobs. Gransfors Bruk carpenters axe - sharpest and best for dry wood. Stubai Austrian roofers axe - the nearest to a small side axe you can buy new today; stripped of the nasty paint job and rear nail puller. Old and abused Goldenberg that sometimes does for carving.

I also have a Goldenberg 4lb, and a 6lb splitting maul but they're not really for fine woodwork :lol:

Edited to add: They all have different functions, so I do need them all. [Just in case SWMBO is looking]

Here is mine:

6lb Ty Gwyn Collier's Axe by Rhyolith, on Flickr

Acquired via this forum, it's a Welsh miners axe and has a active history of use in the mines, where it was used to work on pit props. Since then me and my colleagues in conservation have used it to fell many a sycamore!

I believe it was made by Cornelius Whitehouse.

I have posted this before. This is our carpender in our medieval re-enactment group. Ok there is also a coopers adze and a billhook in there as well.
