Okay I have wood big enough. Darren Hudson buys his gear from us, will check with him for an ax. He's already looking for a saw for me.

I went to right side of head. I was always scared to throw straight back.  Reason why, axe throwing was like horse shoes at my family gtg's.   Lot of drinking and not all there while throwing. So I never took the chance when learning and throwing.
