I'm getting into carving wooden spoons and am looking at carving axes. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on them? I have seen two different ones at highland woodworking http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/g...g-hatchet.aspx / http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/s...arvingaxe.aspx and one at LN https://www.lie-nielsen.com/product/...-axe?node=4225 . Also the Swedish style seems to have more of a curve that comes over the top of the handle, does anyone have a preference? The swedish one also comes with a specific grind for right or left handed people, if anyone has any thoughts on that please let me know, I'm not sure it's something I need if I'm just starting out.
Thanks in advance for you advice
