The use of Broad Axes |
|
|
The
Broad Axe, or the Hewing Axe, is used to shape (hew) logs and
timbers of all kinds in the old traditional way, particularly
when building log-houses. Broad Axe patterns have varied enormously from region to region and over time. The bit of the Broad Axe is beveled on one or two sides and the direction of the handle may be straight or angled sideways to protect your knuckles.  1. Angled to protect the knuckles 2. One side beveled bit |
On
request we will send you information of all the alternatives,
including a Log-house Corner Axe and a curved Log-house Drawknife,
made by Gränsfors Bruks. |
