Adzes
The adze has always been an important
and highly versatile tool for carpenters,
cabinet makers, boat builders and sculptors
alike, and different versions have
therefore evolved for different purposes.
They are used for hollowing-out often
large objects such as troughs, smoothing,
and other large-scale carving projects.
The most important detail of a good adze
is the right combination of form and
length of the handle, which must suit
the shape of the head. But also the bevel
must be customised for the individual
application. An inside bevel allows the
adze to be applied precisely, while an
outside bevel drives the blade quickly
out of the wood again for rough work.
All our adzes are made of carbon-steel.
Flat adzes
Flat adzes are used to flatten and smooth
planes. These planes may be finished
later or keep their characteristic hewn
surface. Therefore these adzes usually
have an inside bevel.

Two-handed gouge-shaped adzes
Gouge-shaped adzes have a wide range
of applications and are suitable for hollowing
out chair seats and boats as well
as for sculpting. The longer handle allows
you to work large pieces that are fixed to
the floor. Two-handed adzes are often
used for tiring work in which the second
hand is a welcome support. The second
hand also provides more impact.
