I've had a Gransfurs hatchet in the house since my son was 10 or so. He's 14 now and still has all his digits. I showed him early on what he could do with it, how sharp it is. He especially likes how you can do pretty precise wood shaving with it if you hold it at the head. We have a couple of the knives that Riv sold/sells here too. He likes how you can do broader work with the axe and fine tune with the knives. Now my daughter is 10. The axe kind of scares her, she's not into it, but she likes carving and whittling with the knives. I recently scored a 6 lb long handled splitting axe at a flea market for $10. That is my favorite new tool. The kids stay away from that and my son makes "Here's Johnny!" jokes when I handle it, but it splits logs like nobody's business.
Regarding Jerry Garcia: I didn't know that he was missing a finger. Not a head, but I like em. Wondering how you axe off a middle finger without getting the others. I guess if things are arranged just so. Bill in Westchester, NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
