Axes and saws were used for cutting tree trunks into planks, adzes for shaping, planing and shaving, awls and bow drills for boring holes, chisels and wooden mallets for shaping and cutting grooves. Egypt did not have any large forests so they tended to import wood from eastern Afrika and the Lebanon.This small chisel may have been used as a hand tool for delicate work, so the handle gives a comfortable grip.
