AXE GRINDING STONE The prominent feature on this side is a large worn concave grinding surface area that measures 11 inches (7.9cm) long, 8 1/2 inches (21.5cm) wide and 5/8 inches (1.5cm) deep. Since axes were also smoothed or polished on their sides it's possible that this side was used for that purpose. There are also at least 12 small holes on this side that may have been used for cracking nuts. |
