Timber Framing Chisel Prototype of Flier Tools
Most of the time I make paring chisels, bench chisels and draw knives, but a short while ago I received a request for a big timber framing chisel. And because I’m always in for something news, I decided to give it a shot.
After some trial and error, I must say that the chisels came out very nice. My customer was happy and I am happy to add a new tool to the product range.
Overall length is 450mm, width 40mm, thickness 10mm, with elm wood handle.
I like the result so much, that I wanted to share a few pictures with you.

Did you use them to cut those trees down?
Top stuff!
At 10mm thick it must have a bit of weight behind it!...I'll just make the other bits smaller.

After some research on the internet, stamped logos took my attention. So I ordered a special made stamped with my name engraved on it. Because my experience is that my first name, Wilco, is quite difficult to pronounce for many non-Dutch people, I decided to use my last name only for the logo on my tools.Extract from Wilco Flier's website.
Us English speakers have no difficulty in pronouncing Wilco; Its just that you Dutch pronounce it very differently!
