Same boat as Shepherd Ralph over here :P I just passed 650 trees cleared and I must have broken my hatchet 50 times between that and the wood tree route I've been haunting for planks!
And maybe we can craft a hatchet that imparts an extra 5 or 10 planks per harvest ;)?
I think, for look & feel purposes, this should look like a double bitted felling axe.
The one linked above is quite pretty.
But then again, so does this one.
