Making a Resin Epoxy Handle for Goosewing Hewing Axe

The hewing axe is the preferred tool for flattening the surface of round logs. In past centuries, wood beams were often made by splitting the logs with some type of mallet and wedge, or glut.

Then they were surfaced with an adz or a hewing ax.
When iron axes became available, the hewing ax almost replaced the adz. Hewing axes were frequently used to roughly square the logs before they were sawn into boards with a pit saw.
Goose-wing broad axes were made in both left- and right-handed models.

The goose-wing handle was offset to the left or right by fitting it into a bent metal tube forged to the bit.Hand crafted.

The ax was bought at a local market in Croatia.

Handle for this axe is made of Walnut wood and resin epoxy.

The time taken to make the entire handle and restore the ax head is two weeks.
