shelves and built in cupboard I couldn't find anything around the web for hewing on this smaller
scale obviously wielding an axe on the leading fringe of wooden shelving to generate the effect could
be to destructive towards the wood. . . Normally hewing is associated with wielding an axe in a
wooden beam, particularly oak, to that rough-cut effect associated with all the days before suitable
saws were accessible to neatly cut wooden beams a rustic effect which can be gaining popularity in
modern designs.
Reclaimed or New Floorboards. . . And if you do not have access to wood carving tools.
I experimented with assorted tools http://tablesawgeeks.com/ to hand, including a chisel but found
these being cumbersome and unreliable the chisel particularly wanting to follow the grain of the
wood and tending to chop too deep, risking splitting the wood. . . . Wood Sculptures and Carpenters
would have suitable tools for carving a hewn effect in shelving, but if like me you only have tools
commonly employed for DIY woodwork round the home as opposed to specialised sculpture or
carpentry tools then the choice is limited.
