World's Largest Axe

Nackawic, NB

This colossal 15-meter-tall steel monument celebrates Nackawic's rich forestry heritage and holds the title of the world's largest axe. Weighing over 55 tons, it features a massive chrome-plated head buried in a concrete 'stump.' Look closely and you'll find a time capsule embedded within its giant blade.
