This axe is fitted with a smaller head and handle than a felling axe and is probably for one-handed use. It would be used for trimming limbs and for small chopping jobs.
This is an example of a tool commonly used by early generations of Orbost settlers.
A wooden handled axe. The top edge of the iron blade is straight and the shape is a right-angled triangle. A yellow cord is threaded through the handle
