Hi all. I'm after the following ...

  • Info on the distribution of axes from Langdale
  • Are there any factories to the west of Dumfries?
  • The best book for Burl's axe trading theories

Thanks

This is a good start http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521619370

If you are not excluding Ireland than Tievebulliagh is relatively close to and west of Dunfries .
Recent news too of jadeite axes being sourced from the Alps unlike the Langdale axes which supposedly were distributed over a very limited area .

It's with reference to Tievebulliagh that I'm enquiring :-) I'll be up there soon and my next book is on Antrim, so there's the link. I was wondering about cross-water parallels. Langdale is quite a bit south of Antrim.
