Adze (Wikipedia.org) "The tool known as the adze (pronounced a(dz) serves for smoothing rough-cut wood in hand woodworking. Generally, the user stands astride a board or log and swings the adze downwards towards their feet, clipping, chipping, and or cutting off a piece of wood, and walking backwards as they go, leaving a relatively smooth surface behind. However, in general usage, the adze can be used for other cutting operations, such as tree cutting."
"The head of the adze is oriented to the shaft like a hoe, or plane, and not like an axe, whose cutting blade would be perpendicular to the blade of an adze." 09-07
