What kind of axes do you use? I struggle to find a decent new axe-head, at least a domestic US-made one. The best one I have found so far (that isn't stupidly priced) is a Husqvarna one, which I think was made my Hultafors Bruks in Sweden. None of the US-made axes are worth a damn anymore. They are so fat in the middle, and just won't cut in well, no matter how sharp. I guess they are all intended for splitting... :(
