Homemade adze

[BillinOregon]

Here are some photos of an adze I made out of yew and copper, with a rawhide wrap. This is pretty primitive for this particular forum, as I intend to use it to rough out bow staves. [url] http://picasaweb.google.com/badenboer/Adze[/url]

Birdman: Sure appreciate your kind words. Actually, it is a dream of mine someday to replicate all that the Iceman carried and wore on the day he died. But this copper adze might see use on something more Colonial than paleo ...
