Hi DL;

I have enjoyed your information on hewing.

I was wondering if you are familiar with the historic term counter-hewing? I believe counter-hewing is re-hewing a timber to improve the surface, size it, or take out a twist, etc. However I have never seen a detailed discription of counter-hewing to know that my understanding is correct.

Just wondering;
Jim
