Great conversation you guys, I was just wondering though with my feeble mind, if the poles were on the ground during the hewing process, how you protected the axe from damage?
No doubt there was a way, I would very much like to hear your take on the method used though.
I realize that sometimes it is very hard to visualize the methods that were used, although they were probably quite well known at that time.
They are still contemplating how many of the wonders of the world were accomplished with the means available then at their disposal
