Axe, Saw, and Knife Use for Bushcraft and Woodland Building, with Nicholas WazeeGale

This class is a skill building workshop in the use of the most common and basic tools for bushcraft and woodland building: axe, saw, and knife. Proper use, technique, safety, maintenance, and sharpening these tools will be covered, along with a discussion of trees and wood types. Participants will get hands-on experience using these tools as we do some actual making and building with them. The emphasis will be on building good habits, skills, and knowledge in the actual outdoor-use environment.
