Large Broadaxe
For the builder who prefers the hand hewn method of flattening timbers, this tool is the answer. Broadaxes are practically non-existent, but we did manage to get this one out of England. The finish is not polished, but the steel is of good quality. The size allows you to do some heavy duty work. This one weighs 8 pounds, has a 12 inch blade and is made so it can be handled left or right. When looking from the back of the axe, when the flat side of the axe is on the left and the handle swings to the right – this is a right hand broadaxe, and conversely if the flat side is on the right and the handle swings to the left – this is a left hand broadaxe. We have also added from the same manufacturer, a Kent side axe which is a smaller broadaxe.
