The author explains how to use various types of axes  hatchets  mauls  saws and wedges to take down trees and prepare firewood. In addition he shows every aspect of dealing with wood from the forest right to the hearth or stove. Author  Dudley Cook  of Waterboro  Maine  tells the reader a certain amount about himself. He has evidently worked in the woods a great deal  having learned to use an ax and the other tools of the woodsman as a boy growing up in a small New England town in the 1930s. He doesnt say whether  in writing The Ax Book  he found he had taken on a longer journey than he had expected; but if so  he was equal to the task  and his reader gain by the bargain.
