O.k. y'all, I made me a pickaroon out an older craftsman ax head. And I'm wondering how old the ax was. It had an aluminum wedge in it, I'm thinking 80s or so...... What's y'alls thoughts???

Thanks.

Can't help with the axe history but looks like you did a fine job

Thanks scuba. It seems like it’s gonna work just fine. I’ve got to fire up my splitter and get use to using it.

Thanks for the technical support, Goldnut!!

looked like it was a Dayton pattern.

it also looks like a nice pickaroon , i find I like pickaroons in pairs .

for whatever reason it seems every ax I find around here , Southern WIs is a Michigan pattern.

can't tell you much more.

Mostly what I find around here is this style ax Pete. But thanks for letting me know what it was.

You can google craftsman logo (they changed many times through the years). If any logo is left on your pickaroon it can get you close.

I just restored an axe to keep in the truck as my little Marbels axe ended up next to the stove on board and the truck was axe naked. I think it is a Council Tolls one .... Have to start e thread and put a pick of it up for the experts.

If it is a council tools ax scuba you can call them. They’re still in business. I’ve got an 1850s bush ax that they helped me to date. They are in waccama N.C. If I recall correctly.

Good idea lumberjack.

Thanks for the heads up Tom Cat

No problem scuba.

Could you elaborate on using 2 of them Pete???

It appears you dropped that craftsman ax and broke the head into a couple pieces and one is missing, can you take the other side in and get a replacement?

using 2 pickaroons ?

sure I can roll rounds with 2 I can wal back wards rolling the round over to the splitter steering and rolling with no bending over.
for rounds small enough to be lifted I like to pick up 2 at a time and carry them to the truck more balanced that way.

I actually have a n axaroon and a pickaroon they both have 36 inch handles and barbed picks

I wish it would have been easy lol.

Great idea Pete!!!
