Re: sharpening axes

I'm not clear what's meant by a double angle cutting edge.  Do you mean that
one side of the axe approaches the cutting edge at a different angle than
the other?  What angles are used?

I need to sharpen a single edge axe and a hatchet and I'd love to see a site
with some pictures and recommendations for how to do this.
