I was first going to say for sqaring timber, but then I noticed by the scale in your pic its very small.  I'd guess its for animal butchering then, or maybe skinning.
PM me or email sakmodder [at] gmail . com if you are looking for custom SAK work.

It does look like a shortened side axe for hewing/squaring logs. Bearded head would suggest choking up on it, and the short handle suggests a short swing.

 :think:

Furniture making? Musical Instruments?

to clear it up a little, more wood cutting tools (draw knives, handdrills) are used to make these farmer "items"..

at least ten steps involved to make (hint!)

Not that small, but yes it is used one handed only.

Perhaps not so obvious in the drawing, but the head is strongly curved..

hmmm

clog-maker's axe

(Image removed from quote.)

Well done mate, it is indeed for making wooden shoes. The axe you show however is not exactly the same but close enough.
See here the trimming process (after cleaving) what this axe is used for and how it looks:

But I still haven't heard the correct name..

I would never have guessed that from the drawing, it doesn't look like this one to me: http://www.joostdevree.nl/shtmls/dissel.shtml

Ofcourse the adze comes in several variaties. Sure, also for boatbuilding. The side-curved face of the head I was talking about for clogs. The drawing was not very clear I admit, but that was the purpose of this guessing game  :)
