One of the most common tools used by carpenters in Ancient Egypt was the adze. This adze is made of a metal blade attached to a wooden handle.
It was used to hack small pieces of wood from larger blocks, to shape objects, and to smooth rough wooden surfaces.
Real adzes were used in daily life and miniature models of adzes were placed in tombs for use in the Afterlife to fight enemies or for carpentry in workshops. |
