The Axe is the tool or weapon
of choice of the Lumberjack. To the members of the SFA Community it has an dualistic association, in this case representing both destruction
and creation.
American Indians, the Chinese and even the Celts called axes "thunder stones". As such, axes became closely associated with power. Today, some of the most die hard SFA students paint axe handles and bring them to the home football games to show support for their team.
