There are literally dozens of blacksmiths online turning out high quality products on a regular basis. Unfortunately, few offer the traditional goosewing axe, a type I've wanted since I began hewing timbers over ten years ago. Downing Arts of Maine came through for me with an absolute master piece. Not only does the axe look amazing, it performs far better, I think, than most of the mid to late 19th Century axes that are so common today.

This is an unsolicited review of one turned out to be an amazing woodworking tool. In the hands of a competent workman, this axe is fully capable of hewing beams of unparalleled quality.

A link to the maker’s Etsy page. I highly recommend him. I’ll get a small commission if you use this link to make a purchase.
