The Axe Wielder's Handbook
- Price
- $15.98
Part instruction manual, part meditation, this handbook draws on author Michael Beaudry's twenty-five years of homesteading in the Maine woods. He teaches how to fell, limb, buck, and split wood; how to hew timbers square; how to sharpen and re-handle an axe; and how to raise a hewn-log cabin. Woven through the practical detail is a philosophy of frugality, self-reliance, woodland stewardship, and slowing down to enjoy honest physical work. Richly illustrated with photos, historical woodcuts, and hard-won personal experience.
- Everything you need to know about the axe—from choosing one to building a log cabin with it—by a man who's spent 25 years living the life
- A vanishing craft preserved: learn skills most people have forgotten
- Practical technique plus a quiet philosophy of slowing down and working with your hands
- A complete buyer's guide comparing the world's best axe makers
Perfect for a homesteader, woodworker, or back-to-the-land enthusiast who wants to learn traditional axe skills and hewn-log building from someone who has lived it.
