Broadaxe

A broadaxe is a tool that people use to chop down trees and chop off the branches from the logs. It looks like a big, heavy, flat axe. People hold onto a long handle and use the broad, flat blade to cut through the tree trunk or branch. When you use a broadaxe, you have to be really strong to swing it and make sure you don't get hurt. You also have to be careful not to swing it too hard so that it doesn't break or damage the trees too much. Overall, a broadaxe is a big, strong tool used to cut down trees and prepare the logs for building things like houses and furniture.
