A striking example of 19th-century hand-forged metalwork, this woodworking adze features a substantial iron head with a curved blade and integral poll (striking face). The tool retains its original bent wooden handle, carefully wrapped with dark binding twine for grip—a detail that speaks to its working heritage and age.
The blade shows the characteristic marks of hand-forging and displays a well-honed, slightly convex edge designed for the precise, controlled shaping work that defines adze use in traditional joinery and timber dressing. The poll end is tapered and shows the kind of wear consistent with generations of use.
This adze arrives in honest, original condition—the metal patinated by time and work, the wood darkened and authentic. It's a functional tool that has earned its place in any serious collection of vintage woodworking equipment, and equally at home as a sculptural object celebrating craft heritage.
