Broad Axe

09 Mar 23:

We are considering a dugout canoe (jiman) and it's always fun to research and buy tools for the build. This nice broad axe came from ebay and will be used for rough shaping. The handle is curved to create some clearance for the hands, and the blade on this axe is beveled on one side so that the flat side can cut closer to the log. Folks tell me this is a left handed adze, but after some use it can be used to achieve purpose with either hand.

Next up, hatchet.
