What on earth…?
Wooden Tom is a self-taught axe-thrower and makes and uses different types of axe to throw. While these skills were highly sought after centuries ago for hunting (indeed both animals and people!), today they are thankfully confined to the realm of unusual entertainment!
Have a look at the videos below to see Tom in action with axes and war clubs.
Families, corporate groups, birthday parties (all ages!) and stag and hen parties all welcome.

Types of axes used
Throwing tomahawk
A specially designed tomahawk from America for the purpose of single handed throwing at a target.
Weight (1.6lbs), including straight grained hickory 48cm which is a knock-fit for easy refitting or replacing.
Wetterlings Double bit throwing axe
The Wetterlings Double-Bit Throwing Axe is a well balanced axe designed to be thrown two-handed at a large round wooden target.
This Swedish axe weighs 2kgs (4.5lbs) with a 15cm cutting edge designed to stick in a target.
Mouse Hawk
A smaller lighter weight version of the competition weight tomahawk.
I find this is great for people who otherwise cannot throw the heavier axes.
0.8lbs weight
Wooden Tom is proud to have worked with…
