[40d] Dwarves told to equip axes don't

Well, they do, but they never succeed. Unless you get a woodcutter and mark some trees to be cut down. Then he'll let go soon after that.

EDIT: nevermind, I think I misunderstood you.

I have no problems getting my dwarves to equip axes for both hunting and tree cutting.  I think you going to have to be a lot more specific about how you are trying to get them to equip and use the axe.

Are you using a mod?  Are they two-handed axes of some sort?

That explains it then. I was using the Civilization Forge mod, and when my Dwarves finally used the axe it was labeled 'multigrasp'. I tried again in vanilla and all was well.

If you want to use a two-handed weapon in fortress mode, you need to set the dwarf in question to carry two weapons.  I had similar trouble in a mod, and that fixed it.
