Adze

An adze was a common axe-like woodworking tool found in Faerûn.
==Description==
The adze resembled an axe with its head turned sideways, somewhat like a mattock or hoe. It could be made with a stone head if necessary, but would be made from a durable metal if at all possible.
==Availability==
Adzes were basic tools commonly made by blacksmiths and bought up by carpenters, shipwrights, and anyone else who worked wood.
==Usage==
An adze was an important part of any toolkit for basic woodworking, alongside a chisel, hatchet, saw, hammer, nails, a plane, a square, and a ruler.
An adze could also be used as a clumsy weapon in an emergency, similar to a hand axe, with shorter-handled varieties used specifically for war.
The wood shape spell used a miniature carpenter's adze as a material component.
