Not chopping down trees! But for hacking away old tree stumps. Most of the old stumps I have are coming apart easily but not without a good work out. There's some good meat left down in the heart of the stump. I broke my axe long time ago and using a splitting maul just isn't the right tool. The maul works, but it's more of a splitter than a chopper. A nice axe will work easier... the long handle kind. I need a good work out and a nice axe will do! What should it be? Can I avoid the BORG? And the BLURG?
