Woodshed Report post Posted September 16, 2020 This is a new adze I got for a woodworking project. Had a piece of thick alligator embossed cowhide scrap that came in a scrap bag that was big enough, so decided to go for it. This was dry-formed only, no need to wet and dry.

Woodshed Report post Posted October 15, 2020 I got a chance to test it with a chunk of cherry firewood. I had a go at it with a hatchet to get the big stuff cut away first. Then final shaping was all adze. It did equally well on concave and convex curves, with no tearouts! All the subsequent knife work was clean up and refinement. The key was to keep the shavings thin and shape it gradually until it was time to go to knives. Fun stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
