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

With the dislaimer that I know nothing about trees in France...Here is some info on what grows there. Of what I see on a quick skim, I'd probably be looking to see if hornbeam or beech has the right kind of bark. It looks kind Alder related to me, but that may not be a useful starting point.

Thanks for the link. The location wasn't from the high mountain, but rather the low plateau, so doesn't match that much, but it's interesting anyway.
