The Wood Tamer is enjoying some time at the Marmalade Festival of Carving. You may still place orders however shipping will not recommence until May 1st.
The Wood Tamer 680 Carving axe by Strongway Tools coming soon.
It’s forged in 52100 steel and will have a 22.5 degree (symmetrical, inclusive) flat bevel because we are that confident that the steel will hold up. This makes it a real slicer of a carving axe with zero glancing. Not sure what I mean by glancing? You know that “clack clack” sound you hear when you’re axing and it’s bouncing off your piece? That’s glancing and can be caused by a bevel that is too broad or an edge that is too dull.
The first drop will have black ash handles and following drops will be raw ash (oiled). Total weight is 680gms. Cutting edge is 110mm. Handle length is 285mm. Total axe length is 320mm from Toe (top tip of the axe) to base of handle.
Full credit has to go to @timothy.j.henry and @strong_way_tools who have been involved with the design and creation of this axe. If you noticed that it has similar characteristics to the rest of the Wood Tamer axe range that is intentional as we are really happy with the entire range’s performance. . ◾️ Handle material: ash ◾️ Blade material: 52100 steel ◾️ Head size: 110 x 140 mm ◾️ Total length: 320 mm ◾️ Total weight: 680gm ◾️ Leather sheath included
