The term 'Axeman' refers to a person who is skilled in the use of an axe. This job was traditionally used in forestry and logging, but it has also been used in construction and other industries. The term 'HEWER' is a synonym for Axeman, and is derived from the Old English word 'heawere, ' which means 'one who hews or cuts.' Hewers were responsible for cutting down trees and shaping them into logs, as well as for cutting stone and other materials.
