- A hatchet with a wing spar, used for felling trees
- A straight hatchet for shortening smaller pieces of wood (with a piece of deer antler above it to illustrate what is used for the "blade")
- A short axe with transverse stone blade, used for working wooden boards (with a piece of deer antler above it to illustrate what is used to hold the stone blade)
- Two wooden wedges to split wood, also used to make wooden boards
