I really really love these little adzes. I am just starting to realise how versatile and useful they are likely to be....mallet and chisle in one hand
I had another go yesterday, carving some green hazel

This is the same adze being used a day earlier on dry (very dry) sycamore

This was my second home made blade. It is holding up extremely well, not rolling or chipping
thanks for looking, cheers Jonathan

They look the business. I like the recycled/ remade blades, and the handles look terrific. Well done!

As you say in your vid, it produces a nice finish.

What are you going to use this adze for, the one you are making in the vid? A dug out boat?

it seems big now, but by the time its carved down and dried it wont be so fat. But I would like to try one with a heftier lipped blade...the north west carvers use them up to 3 and 4 inches wide...
