Hewing a white pine log into a five inch thick timber, tie hacker style again with a Jersey pattern felling axe. I am not certain yet if I will try and split this beam into two, so I won’t be hewing the other sides flat just yet.
Since there’s a lot more material to remove than with the cribbing, I am removing the bulk of the waste by joggling it off, then coming back and scoring before finally hewing to the line. The video makes this fairly self explanatory.
