Can any of you identify this wood? (nextcloud.kessel.hya.sk)

I found it in a forest in Jura mountains (France). Do you think I could make an axe handle out of it?

Thanks for your concern, couldn't agree more. In that case, that forest is partly private property where I own a bit, and the branch came from there. It's not exploited for its wood and is left mostly in its wild state. I'm about the only guy out there that even go there for a walk once in a while. It's still an item taken from it, but believe me, that forest is well cared for :-)
