Dangerous chopping, he'll get that axe buried in his kneecap if he continues like that… ouch!
@s37d They are from the East Sussex Partnership, completely different county. Sherwood Forest is Nottinghamshire, about 200 (ish) miles further north

this was also how mass squared beams were made from logs in Canadian logging in the 17 and 1800s.
@loverg31 Interesting comment. Thanks for watching WoodlandsTv and sharing that.
@bluetoad2001 Sure is hard work. Glad you enjoyed WoodlandsTV
a friend wants a new handle for his hewing ax.
i wonder if you guys ever hang new handles in big hewing axes?
this baby is twelve inches wide and appears to never have been used.
i am not sure if the handle should have a curve ?
here is a fact from the past.
in the early 1900's railroad ties were made by "Tie Hacks", the record was said to be around one hundred made in one day's time. by one individual using a hewing axe.
