Bought a axe to my self as Jule present

[CADplans]

What an interesting story! How many such untold stories are still sleeping in our heads!?

The stone you have mentioned the arrowheads are made of probably is a flint stone?
Entire stone age is related with this kind of stone.
It could also be that a very big animal (maybe mammoth) was hunted in that place. No?

We have the same here. The trees are still keeping bullets and splinters inside from the WW2 and freedom battles which damage saws.

So you left those Minié balls after burning the logs nearby arrowheads and have created a huge question for future archeologists?

I never heard of big animals in Virginia, so, they probably hunted the same white tail deer that is hunted today.
The arrowheads are what I would consider perfect for deer, rabbit, goose, duck, and pheasant.
That is what is hunted today, on that sight,,

As far as the bullets, they are (were) lead, I am sure they melted, possibly vaporized,, in the fire.

The archeologists (or future owner) will probably find the bullets,, and arrowheads on my present home site,,
after I am gone,,

They will wonder how so many arrowheads got 250 miles from where they should have been made!!

You insist to use Y instead of J as I believe is the way it was in old English, we use J and we have always called it Jul.

I have a Fiskars hatchet that is very well made and great to use. It was made in Finland and gifted to me by a visiting relative.

I have an x27, x25 and the splitting maul. My buddy also has an x27 and bought a fiskars hatchety. Used it once and refuses to use it again. "It is too sharp".

There is some truth to that. Mine has a keen edge, but I like it like that. I also have a number of Martiini knives, some gifts and family hand-me-downs and some that I bought at the factory store in Rovaniemi.

I don't know how anybody can use a dull axe for anything except splitting. It's like trying to use a dull knife.

The axe is a copy of a Viking axe, wonder if 1000 years has improved the design of today's axes.

I didn't know that there were cordless tools back then.

Merry Christmas Agvg and everyone else!

That's a great point Rusty . All tools where cordless then . I guess were just going back to our roots.

Merry Christmas Every One
