You know that old tool saw years of hard work and can now be restored and re-loved as a faithful tool. I have no doubt that axe will be special to your son and may get passed down in your family as a prized possession.

One blogger recently told me that they would sharpen one side real sharp for limbing and the other less finely sharpened for rough work near the ground. I use mine to trim up trees before sawing into firewood length as it saves fuel and saw blade and is just a quick way to cut the limbs off of a down tree. That old one will probably really ring when it takes a limb off!Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-55197262073241705122014-05-24T08:29:06.513-04:002014-05-24T08:29:06.513-04:00O, and I meant to say, I'm very impressed with...O, and I meant to say, I'm very impressed with your descendent in his diligence to uncover this treasure.

Aren't all the old Kimballs that were hard workers and produced great things in their lives related to you? :-) I enjoy reading about things you are finding out about your ancestry. Of course, anyone can BEGIN their good line of ancestry right now if they are not proud of their family's history. I'll have to say that my Granddad was one of those, and I'm so proud to call him mine.SharonRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043548752523750347noreply@blogger.com
