There is nothing more satisfying than using a good tool in top condition, and a fast-cutting axe or a sweet-running chain saw is perhaps the best example.

This e-handbook shows you how to keep your axes and saws in good condition for years of use, what safety gear to use and a list of selected firewood. This list includes hardwoods, softwoods, how well these woods split and the amount of smoke they emit. Chapters in this e-handbook include:
