Ax Head • To clean your axe first make sure that the head is thoroughly dry. Use a WOOX bamboo cloth or a towel to remove excess water or moisture from the axe blade. • If there is stubborn dirt or wood sap on the head, scrape it off with a wire brush. Large pieces can also be scraped off gently with a knife. • If necessary, remove any remaining grime on the axe head with a WOOX degreaser or solvent or paint thinner. • If you spot rust, scratch it off using sandpaper or steel wool and clean any particles with an oiled cloth or paper towel. • Once the axe head is clean - you’re ready to sharpen it.
Handle • Clean any dirt and debris with WOOX bamboo cloth or a clean dry cloth. • Once clean, rub a small amount of boiled linseed oil to help preserve the wood.
