You may have noticed lots of references here lately to hand hewing and broad axes. Call it research, I guess, because I’m still debating how I will acquire, and then work with and move those white oak timbers I mentioned earlier.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this quality video. Really well shot, very clear, very easy to understand the process of hewing here. Check it out!
Wow! Quite laborious!
Wouldn’t it be possible to keep most of the log round then just work the areas where there’s joinery?

Very good sound (had headphones). I instinctively waived my hand after that bug.. I felt stupid for a second there 🙂
