The tool known as the '''adze''' ('''adz''' in US) ([[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: {{IPA|/ædz/}}) serves for smoothing rough-cut [[wood]] in hand [[woodworking]]. Generally, the user stands astride a board or log and swings the adze downwards towards their feet, chipping off a piece of wood, and walking backwards as they go, leaving a relatively smooth surface behind. However, in general usage, the adze can be used for other cutting operations. | The tool known as the '''adze''' ('''adz''' in US) ([[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: {{IPA|/ædz/}}) serves for smoothing rough-cut [[wood]] in hand [[woodworking]].
