I have four large felling axe heads, mostly used for splitting logs for firewood, that weigh in at (3lb 1oz, 3lb 9oz, 3lb 11oz and 4lb 1oz).
April 17th Roughly fashioned a peice of hawthorn for the 4lb 1oz head
April 18th Shaped it to fit the hand, about 1" by 1½".
April 19th 
April 20th Etched weights have to be corrected. The tongue for second head just starting to fit.
April 21st Balanced, leveled and tared the scales again to give weights firstmentioned; re-etched the weights. The 41b 1oz head has been attached with an oak wedge and left to hang for a day to dry more and the tongue for second head is finished.
April 22nd Addedcopper wedgesand in hammering the first copper wedge the oak wedge went in and given the depth of cut it may have split the tounge a bit. Using copper as iron rust can speed wood decay.

The shaft of the 4lb 1oz head twisted and would hit logs at some 20° bouncing off. As it was a pain to try manipulate it to land verticaly planned the sides to make them more parallel.
July 8th
Passing the lighter of the two remaing heads, some 3lb 1oz, to Gavin so he can make a shaft and the axe can be left at the wagon along with the smaller one for visitors.
