 What would the effect be of an even longer bevel, say an inch and a half

Tom,

It does seem rather like my hewing hatchet.  I had initially considered
trying to flatten the left side of my camp hatchet when I wanted a hewing
hatchet last summer, but it seemed to require a lot of modification.  It
was less effort to buy and restore to use a purpose made hewing hatchet.  I
haven't done much with it yet, as things have been set aside until the
class (you know how work always seems to interfere with life).  I think
this grind is somewhat unusual for a carving tool, unless I've missed
something in my reading.  I'll ask Peter about it during the class.
