The Wood Axe Head is the steel head of a Wood Axe, without its handle. It is a Blacksmithing and Maintenance part for a tree felling tool.
Its main job is building a new Wood Axe. The Assemble Long Implement recipe fits it to a Large Handle. This turns a worn or broken axe into a working tool again. A spare head can also be sharpened, or melted down for its steel.
Most heads come from taking a Wood Axe apart with the Dismantle Long Implement recipe. A master smith can also forge one at an Advanced Forge. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Assemble Long Implement recipe joins the head to a Large Handle and gives back a Wood Axe. It needs a hammer, club hammer or mallet and a sharp knife, which are kept. The recipe asks for Maintenance level 1. Replacing a broken handle this way keeps a good axe in service.
A dull head can be sharpened before assembly. It can be sharpened by hand, poorly with a file, or on a Grindstone.
The head also counts as a large steel item. The Smelt Steel From Large Steel Item recipe gives four Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace. The Smelt Large Steel Item recipe melts it into a ceramic crucible at a simpler furnace.
How to Get Wood Axe Head
The Dismantle Long Implement recipe takes a Wood Axe apart into its head and a broken handle. It needs a hammer, club hammer or mallet, which is kept, and asks for no skill.
The Forge Wood Axe Head recipe makes a new head from a Steel Block (Pierced). It burns five charcoal and keeps a ball-peen hammer, tongs and a metalworking punch. The work is done at an Advanced Forge with Blacksmithing level 8. The head is not found as loot.

Notes
- Research Craft on the head teaches the Knap Large Stone Axe Head and Forge Axe Head recipes.
- A worn Wood Axe can be dismantled and rebuilt on a new Large Handle.
- Sharpening the loose head works the same as sharpening a finished axe.
- A ruined head is still worth four Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.
