Hewing

A German woodworker cutting a log into a bar. Note the blue chalk line snapped on the log to which the hewer lives up to expectations.

In some medieval Scandinavian structures an extraordinary strategy for cutting which creates a herringbone design on the timbers has been utilized (Swedish: Slinthuggning, Norwegian: Sprettejling). This is an advanced recreation in Stråsjö Chapel in Hälsingland, Sweden. 

In carpentry cutting is the procedure of changing over a log from its adjusted normal structure into (timber) with pretty much level surfaces utilizing fundamentally a hatchet. It is an antiquated system still utilized sometimes to square up bars for timber surrounding.

Cut is a general term intending to hit or blow with a chainsaw, for example, a hatchet or sword; to slash or slice, and is utilized as a part of fighting, stone and wood cutting, and coal and salt mining in this sense.Hewing wood is to shape the wood with a sharp instrument, for example, an axe,[3] particularly leveling one or more sides of a log.

Techniques

As an old strategy for timber change, diverse strategies for every progression in slashing have grown ever.

Plan log

After a tree is chosen and felled, cutting can happen where the log landed or be slid or jerked (slipped with a steed or bulls) out of the forested areas to a work site. The log is put over two other littler logs close to the ground or up on trestles about waist tallness; balanced out either by indenting the bolster logs, or utilizing a 'timber puppy' (additionally called a log dog,[4] a long bar of iron with a tooth on either end that sticks into the logs and anticipates development). The hewer measures and finds the timber inside of the log on both finishes and imprints lines along the length of a log, as a rule with a chalk line.

Scoring

The following step is to slash indents each foot or two, as profound as the stamped line utilizing a hacking or scoring hatchet, called scoring. No less than three routines are utilized as a part of scoring. 1) Standing on the log and swinging a hatchet to cleave the score; 2) In Germany a strategy for two craftsmen remaining on the ground with the log on trestles and swinging descending to cut the scores. (see feature in connection beneath); 3) A chainsaw is utilized to indent the log, the segments made by the indenting are then separate from utilizing a felling hatchet.
