proper axe usage

Gar demonstrates proper use of the axe. We are chopping notches in the log down to the line that we are leveling it off to. In this video, Gar chops out the wood between the notches. This is the most effective way to remove wood that we've found. We got a big two-man saw from Mr. Robinson, but it is about a hundred years old, and about as dull as a butter knife, so unfortunately we will not be able to use it. Despite this, the fact that we actually used a lumberjack saw and five pound axe to carve a dugout canoe is badass. It is believed that we are the only two students on campus that are qualified to wear flannel.
