A drawknife is a tool I had never heard of before starting this project. It's tool used to remove long slices of wood in woodworking. In the discovery phase for this project I had the client walk me through part of his woodworking process. When they pulled out the drawknife I felt it was the perfect unique shape to incorporate into the logo. Hewing can be done with any broad blade but the drawknife is the specific tool for the job and obvious choice for a hand-made wood shop called Hewn.
