DESCRIPTION
Axes are known as traditional objects that have evolved in subtle increments over time. Sunder Axe is a thesis study that utilizes traditional form characteristics in ways that encourage safe use through proper technique and repetitive habit.
USER RESEARCH
John V., a carpenter and horse farmer, and Dave Jewett, a professional lumberjack competitor were two of my primary contacts. John gave me an overview of the axes available on the market. Dave offered tips about splitting technique and form.
