Hearst Museum object titled Adze, accession number 11-38530, described as Adze with greenstone blade attached to wood handle; rattan binding; used mainly for shaping Casuarina wood planks for houses and as a general cutting tool carried around by the men hooked over one shouler or over the head (in the carrying net on long trips). Women sometimes also owned adzes but carry them only in the net. For splitting the Casuarina they use wood wedges driven with a stone into sections of trunk cut with the adze. Casuarina trees are individually owned near the village but village owned further away. Adzes also used for cutting firewood. The men’s houses have more and better planks than the dwellings. Casuarina is the only non food-producing tree of sufficient importance to be regarded as property to be owned and controlled. Adzes are also used as weapons in brawls. No axes are used or known

Hearst Museum object titled Adze, accession number 18-1101, described as Adze; woodworking tool. Handle: wood(”kayu belimbing,” “Averrhoa bilimbi” Linn.); shank: wood (”jerin tupai”) (”Pithecellobium microcarpum,” Benth); blade: steel; tie: rattan (”rotan tunggai”). Handle, round, wider at top, 83 cm. long; large split at top of handle. Shank, L-shaped. Blade, approximately 16 cm. long. Iron blade purchased in market, usually made by Chinese blacksmiths, but occasionally by Malays. Used for felling trees and shaping wood planks, especially in the manufacture of boats. Like an axe or adze (blade can be rotated to an angle). Handle in two pieces, the handle (”purdah”) and the shank (”sangul”). Before axes became common as trade item this tool was extensively used, presently used only for special purposes like shaping beams and boats. Made by men. Cost in U.S. dollars: 5.33.
