I made a few posts on here about my first axe, and my experience getting into the hobby. They were mainly for tips on axe profile/selection, + technique.

Since then, I've felled and processed a few trees (Aussie Hardwood). I've also spent some time customizing my axe, and wanted to share, and get some opinions on the changes.

Started with a cheapy Bahco from SydneyTools.

Changes:
- Reduced Axe Head weight (~0.3g lighter), by trimming down the Poll, and grinding some phantom bevels.
- Sanded + Made the handle look cool.
- Sharpened the axe head down a fair bit.

Let me know what your thoughts are! (Positive & Negative, looking for concerns too).

Thanks,
