Axe Edge Geometry. This picture shows the original shape before i reshaped the heel of the cutting edge to get the edge i wanted for my work. The axe geometry is part of what makes an axe cut good or bad, and has the huge impact assuming there is a serviceable edge when the bit bites into the wood. Reshaping the axe is best done with an electric grinding wheel for speed and for ease if you have one. The defining feature of a carving axe is its edge geometry which gives it greater control in use than standard hatchets. The edge geometry of your axe directly influences its performance, making it easier to achieve fine details in your carving. The wood tamer demonstrates the difference in performance between a convex grind axe and a flat over hollow grind axe along with. For this post, we will focus in on the cross sectional shape, or edge geometry, and how different grinds effect edge performance.
