Today, I put to use a broad ax that had been in the family but unused for almost 100 years. I spent the day learning to hew next to countless cords of wood in a pasture near the bush line. I hewed my first timber while wild horses watched.
Nice Gumphri. I spent all day with a spokeshave. Cool tool. Not that many think about it with Timber framing, but it does make any curve nice without the sandpaper. Good topic.
