Hudson Bay axeshave an axehead that has a teardrop-shaped eye, a flat poll, which weighs around 2 lbs and which is usually mounted on a 20”-28” handle. The name comes from the Hudson Bay Company, which dominated the fur trade in the Hudson Bay area and its drainage basin (that is, the rivers flowing into it) in modern-day northern Canada and some p...
Double bit axes have two bits, or cutting edges, on the axehead. These are mounted on both smaller and larger handles, and have two main benefits. The first is that you don’t have to sharpen the edges as often (since there are two). If you’re felling many trees and one edge starts getting dull, you can simply flip the axe around and start using the...

The Michigan axe head patternappeared in the 1860’s in Michigan, where settlers logged big eastern white pine (pinus strobus) trees. The Michigan axe pattern is similar to the Dayton pattern, but with a more rounded poll end and thicker (or fatter) cheeks that made it suitable to use as a splitting axe in addition to felling. Put in terms of geomet...
Jersey axes have what is known as a “lug”. This is an extension of the axehead’s cheek facing downwards at an obtuse angle. This gives more contact between the axehead and the handle and improves stability. The Jersey axe’s toe, heel, and poll corners are also more angular than the rounded Michigan axe. The Jersey axe pattern, just like the Michiga...

Swampers cleared brushbefore fellers got to work and made logging roads and trails in the forests. Swamper’s axes were meant for limbing and bucking a tree, and working fast was important. That’s why...

They are often large enough to fell and limb trees, but usually not as large as true felling axes.
