Pueblo Wood Adze or Cutting Tool, Late 19th to Early 20th C.

Santo Domingo Pueblo

Wood, Iron | Item 2494

This Pueblo tool is very much like item 2495, only not nearly as old. This example of a wood adze is likely late 19th to early 20th century. The haft is clearly hand made, and the iron is shaped, not molded. This is a powerful tool for digging into wood. Check out the much earlier example of this type of adze: item 2495.
