How many axes does a girl need?

We have decided to replace our old wooden shed by the house with a different sort in the corner of the garden, so yesterday (when it was dry and sunny – not like today!) I spent half the afternoon moving everything out of the old shed and into the garage for temporary storage; we want to get rid of the old shed first so we can re-use the paving slabs that are underneath it.
In the course of this of I naturally rediscovered things I had forgotten about, chief among these being four axes of different sizes! Not sure I really need that many. Maybe this is a message to get out there and chop some firewood!

Axes were popular at one time? The person didn't like sharpening them? The axes had different purposes? They had axe parties?

@mynameiskate I think I'll really have to try them all properly and see which ones suit me in terms of weight and size.

@Fleura I'm not sure either what people do at axe parties. :)
It is always good to have more than one tool which makes it difficult to know what to keep. Is the gifted one a keeper?

@owlwings The huge trees belong to our neighbours. The smaller trees below are also theirs. Then somewhere in there, there is a fence. In front of that are smaller shrubs - those are ours (and they are continually growing this way to get out of the shadow of the taller trees behind (and to the south of) them.
In the picture they don't look that tall, but if you can see where the overhanging branches of the smaller trees have been cut back - that is as far as we can reach with a ladder and extending loppers!
We get no sun at all from Sept to March, then full sun from March to Sept!

You won't need that much so long as you know how to hone and sharpen them, now go chop some wood

lol I am sure if we emptied my husband's shed we would find duplicates and more of many items when we can't find one we buy a new one.

Four are many. You must have been using them sometime back and not anymore.

None. Axes are for big strong boys. Don't you read fairy tales?
But seriously, FOUR?? We don't own a single one. I feel cheated of an axe now.
