Carving Axes

Carving axes are specialized cutting tools designed for controlled, precise work across the grain. Featuring a fine edge, compact head, and geometry optimized for close-hand control, they allow the user to remove material accurately while maintaining a clear view of the cut. Unlike larger forest axes, carving axes emphasize responsiveness and edge sensitivity over power, making them ideal for shaping, detail work, and green woodworking where accuracy and clean fiber separation are paramount.
