Jarmo Hiltunen, Finnish Log Builder & Author

Finnish Log Builder and author Jarmo Hiltunen explains how to cut wood with using special historical Piilu axe and how to hew already dried wood and installed logs. The most useful tool for this kind of work is a symmetric axe, which can be used to hew from both directions. Extra thickness in this tool’s blade makes each swing easier. It might be hard to believe, but in this case lifting slightly heavier tool up with each swing helps when making the actual cut. Hewing logs that are already installed as a wall is challenging and demands a lot of practice. Cutting wood from the outside improves the weather resistance of the wood and smooths the wall completely. When inspected from a distance, hewed log wall forms a unique surface that remind us of the skills of earlier generations of woodworkers and log builders.
