Before sawmill and powered plane tools, wood carving axes called adzes were used to remove bark or smooth unwanted lumps from timber. Carry on the tradition with the Felled Curved Head Wood Adze Axe. 1x2.5-inch curved adze helps create rounded shapes in projects such as removing or rough-shaping wood or even making archery bows. These wood working axes use a horizontal striking force to remove heavy waste from timber surfaces. You can even use the wood carving axes when making totem poles, masks, bowls, barrels, canoes, gutters, and chairs. 18-inch wood handle comes unattached from axe head for accurate and comfortable sharpening prior to use. Slide the cutting head onto the tapered handle, then use a hammer to wedge into place. Mounting screws included for added security.
