A woodworkers adze, this one specifically for dishing or bowling. I get requests for specific tools from time to time, and I have made more simple ones for myself, so I thought I'd make a more specialised version for sale. Hand forged from S5 tool steel with a rock maple timber handle. (close up pic is of the underside of the head)
For sale at $250 + $20 postage and insurance
Total length: 430mm, head width: 180mm, blade length: 70mm, weight: 873g.
