Timber Framing Tools

Selecting the right timber frame tools is essential, as each task and material demands specific types. For heavy cutting tasks like sizing beams or felling trees, robust tools such as axes and large adzes are necessary, while delicate, precision tasks like carving joints or adding details require finer chisels and gouges. 

Consider the wood type, tool quality, and durability, focusing on high-carbon steel and sturdy handles. Your skill level also influences the choice; beginners should opt for versatile tools, whereas experienced craftsmen might prefer specialized ones. Plan for long-term projects by investing in quality tools that offer both versatility and longevity.

Axes and Adzes: The Heart of Timber Framing

• Axes. Our large axes, crafted with forged steel and a sturdy wooden handle, are the first step in the woodworking process, perfect for cutting down trees for further processing.
• Wooden adze. The wooden adze is essential for shaping the wood, removing large sections, and roughly leveling log surfaces.

Chisels and Gouges: Precision in Every Stroke

• Wood chisel. This tool has a flat, straight blade ideal for shaping, cutting, and performing jointing tasks like grooves, tenons, and dovetails.
• Wood gouge. Featuring curved or V-shaped blades, gouge is crucial for carving, creating circular cuts, and adding texture and detail to complex shapes.
