The broadaxe, with a large, heavy head, was never used to fell trees.
Larger broadaxes, often beveled on both sides, were used by the "tie hacks", who would drop a tree with a felling axe, then walk up and down it, hewing as they went.
And even larger broadaxes were used to "square" (actually make polygonal before shipping) the huge old pines that were so important as masts for King George's Navy.

 Axes and Broadaxes
Definition: A tool or instrument of steel, or of iron with a steel edge or blade, for felling trees, chopping and splitting wood, hewing timber, etc. It is wielded by a wooden helve or handle, so fixed in a socket or eye as to be in the same plane with the blade.
The broadax, or carpenter's ax, is an ax for hewing timber, made heavier than the chopping ax, and with a broader and thinner blade and a shorter handle.
This style of broadaxe is considered a Chopping Broad Axe.
