How I make an Axe Block / Carving Stump for Green Woodworking
I wondered whether to make this video as I feel there’s nothing here you couldn’t figure out.
However, I know a lot of folks end up with crappy axe blocks or no axe block at all when they wing it – so here’s how I make mine in a consistent and repeatable way to get a useful block.
You’ll need some way to bore a good size hole, my T auger is around 1 1/2″. The rest can be done with a hatchet and a saw.

Nice project its on my to doooo list, where did you get the auger from and how much please. Greetings from Wales UK ,ive subd.
Good job, very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect. Exactly the video I’ve been looking for. Math and measuring give me anxiety. Thank you.
Lovely, thank you
Nice
Awesome. If I only had conifer available, would that be suitable for a chopping block?
Legit helpful, thank you!
Is a 1inch diameter auger going to make a strong enough leg? Yours looks about 1.5inch? I’ve been finding it hard to find these nice old augers in big sizes
Very succinct and helpful! I just built one, but wasn’t sure about the height.
Does it matter how green or seasoned the block or the legs are?
I have a question, where do you/how do you get your wood for spoon carving? Great video btw.
Great channel. Should have many more sub’s.
Excellent video! A nice presentation at a perfect length. I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom on this, as I’ve always just used a tall round of white spruce, but that’s almost too heavy and hard to move around an indoor workshop. Thanks for the inspiration, friend!
