Nice Kevin, we both have a pretty similar routine/method mixing axes and battery chainsaw; Felling with axe or saw depending of the mood, limbing with axe because it's too much fun , bucking with the saw. The only difference for me is I don't have and can't use motorized engine in my environment, so I don't buck on site. I just do 9-12 feet logs with axe or saw and bring everything back to somewhere near my home or a road to finish the job. I did once buck several ricks on site, and then spent two days bringing everything back to home, never again :D ! Eager to watch you make the handle.

Sometimes it’s nice to work without all the noise. But if I have time, I will always limb with an axe!

Yeah, fun little series. Be awhile before I can actually haft an axe with the wood, but worth putting the time in for the future. Not a lot of great options left for handles. House Handles is probably the best. They usually have stock and are pretty cheap and not stupid thick.

Making your own handles is hard work and time consuming but deeply satisfying. I would love to try out elm but sadly the English Elm is now as rare as rocking horse poop. I am looking out for a good large holly log as I have a fancy that might work well. I use an electric chainsaw a lot now, but budget means I'm restricted by a cable...... spot the envy ! Look after those arms of yours buddy, they have got to last all your life !

Unfortunately I cut the bow staves too short. I thought 59” was plenty, but Simon said I need like 80” to start with for a long bow, so I might just make shovel handles or something like that. We’ll see.

Man, I’d trade a lot of things for that battery saw. You’ll want two batteries and a charger obviously, which makes it crazy expensive to get into, but it’s the first tool I pick up when I’m going to the woods for the day. The side by side is a game changer for me, especially because I just re-injured my knees.

They’re pricey with the charger and batteries. But for the bare tool, yeah I think that’s about right. Worth the price though in my mind.
