[2011 09 24] Making a stone axe / adze - part 2 : sharpening. Following Musteriano's advice (use water), I reshaped the edge of my first adze. And, now it can cut wood ! Adding water in the process really facilitates the grinding. (be cautious when you refine the edge, as grinding progresses fast on this part of the adze). It took me 3 hours to reshape the edge : inexperience, polissoirs too small and malformed, adze difficult to grip, curved shape of the adze's edge, ... Things to ameliorate : - bigger grinding rocks, - create depressions in the grinding rocks (in order to better hold the water and the sand) - finer quality of sand, - simplified adze shape : flat sides, straight edge
