Description
Gransfors Bruk Large Carving Axe #475
The Gränsfors Bruk #475 Swedish Carving Axe is a chop axe designed for hewing bowls and other wooden objects, artistic wood carving and architectural work.
The Swedish Carving axe has a characteristic curved shape to the cutting edge, carried well above the head’s eye, the position of the edge in proportion to the handle, the rather thick bit and the big angle of the wide beveled face makes this axe an impressive carving tool. Axe pattern developed by Wille Sundqvist, master craftsman and author of “Swedish Carving Techniques” in cooperation with craftsman adviser Onni Linnanheimo.
