Biographical Notes
Found on Coho Flats. At end of trail heading upstream approximately 300m. Found lying on the stones beside the river.
This is a carvers tool it is made from wood. A head perpendicular to the handle would sit atop. The adze would be used in woodworking, more specifically for shaping/smoothing of wood.
