| Figure 97. Drawing of a
man hewing with an adz This timber, which has been hewn with a broadax, shows the wavy pattern made by the broadax. Now it is being hewn with an adz to make it smooth. The men who built these cabins used the adz with such skill that it is difficult to find any hewing marks on the timbers. (Drawing by Chris McJunkin for the hewn-timber cabins collection, 2002.) |
