I am offering for sale this month a collection of 2 DVD's that contain instructional material pertaining to the use of the historic broadaxe. The information covers the handle styles, lengths, a good discussion of the axe heads and will cover what to look for if purchasing one is on your agenda. A good percentage of the material on the DVD's is a hands on documentary of the actual hewing process, followed along by a good commentary in a step by step fashion as I work. Safety aspects, and correct posture and stance is reviewed. Layout of lines to hew from on a round log is covered as an introductory to the hewing process.

The material is equal to what a student would receive if he or she attended a one day workshop to learn the basics of hewing with the traditional broadaxe.

To produce this documentary I draw on 30 years of experience, and 3 generation of family timberframing tradition.
