D Adze completed

[mr dazzler]

Just finished building a D adze a few days ago. Its a tool with a powerful bite..
I posted a few vidoes of it being made, here is a short one of its first few cuts.

Thanks for looking.
It aint my invention, thats for sure! The D adze is a standard and ancient carving tool of the Native Northwestern cavers, eg from the Haida, Tsimshian, Tlingit, Nisga'a nations. I used a recycled hoe blade, it is quite heavy and thick. But traditionally stone was used (pre colonial contact) then iron/steel.
