There are two types of axes: hand axes, which are smaller and used for more delicate work, and chopping axes, which are used for felling trees and cutting them into boards to be used in construction. The axes are made in two parts, simlar to a hammer, but with a different head. The head is formed of iron, with one end flat, the other thin and flared with a sharpened edge. Close to the flat part is a hole for the handle to fit into.
