How to use

Hold the wooden handle with both hands for controlled swings; place the cutting edge on the target wood and apply smooth, measured strikes.

Inspect the wooden handle regularly for cracks or looseness and ensure the head is secure before each use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves, and work on a stable surface. Store the axe in a dry place and oil the handle periodically to maintain durability.
