- One of my customers from Tasmania came to visit and pick up a few tools. Here is a bit of our conversation about adzes and chair-making. You can see more of Jon's work on Instagram @tasforestrecovery.
What has been said here nails it: Someone with a deep understanding of the craft makes tools for another one handcrafting pieces for people to serve theirs daily. Clearly the smith is a the root of all others and traditionaly all the uses of his creations added to better living of the society. Nowadays all strayed afar from this lovely cycle and so especially now it is delightful to see such fine toolmaker as you are! The tool is at core of all fine if not genius work that lives beyond time beyond all that is temporary because such handowrk can convey the timeless idea and quality. The fine tool is the greatest possiblity at hand hence your work is so valuable.
My quick question is: can you possibly adze the end grain of large badly cut stump of ash? The wood is still kept fairly green and I am looking for an alternative as for crosscuttin the large misshapen stump on my own. I am perfectly aware that this not the way one should use an adze efficiently but could i t work and rescue the situation?
