That is some hard work! Looks great.

Thanks Josh! I love your channel!

You have a nice accurate swing. It looks like tulip poplar. That's what I would use simply because it's an abundant source of straight timber in my area.

Thank you! Keen eye friend. It is tulip. Large logs. A little soft, but they will be covered so it will work out nicely.

Awesome footage! I just ordered a broad axe. It's flat on the left side. I've been dreaming of building a dovetail cabin in Alaska when I retire

[@thehewinghoosier]

You should 💯 % do it! Keep me updated!

Sweet log

I have a hewing axe I’ve never used. Cool to see someone using one. Thanks for the video!

[@thehewinghoosier]

That is so cool! They are awesome tools. Imagine the guys that swung them for hours per day!

Get the sound and action in sync, sound should not be heard before the axe hits

[@thehewinghoosier]

Not quite sure on that. There does seem to be a slight delay on the log scoring section, but not the rest of the vid. I'll see what I can do about that in future vids. Thanks for the critique.
