Sharpen an Ax!

Abraham Lincoln famously said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”

Woodcutters, lovers of the wedge and edge, this three-hour class is for you! Come learn the differences between a felling ax and a splitting ax, and how to shape and sharpen them both according to their intended use. Heck, if you like rabbit holes, we may even explore what makes a good side ax, swamper or limbing ax!
