Hewing for Homesteaders Basic Tools and Process

I am hoping to do a small video series on hewing as a practical skill for homestead construction. Any farm or homestead with its own woodlot shouldn't need to go to a lumberyard or sawmill for small structural timbers. This video just shows a very quick process of hewing out two flat sides to make a short piece of cribbing for further hewing projects. I use a standard Jersey pattern felling axe to demonstrate that you do not need to own a broad axe to hew a timber. • I'm not making these videos to put myself out there as a master axeman or expert at hand hewing. I am an axe enthusiast and someone interested in using my axes to more fully utilize our farm resources to further our goal towards a self reliant lifestyle. • For those who want to see some true experts at hewing I recommend watching some of the videos on my hewing playlist. • Quality Hewing Videos, Different Ways...
