Wood axe, made in Camp Petawawa, 1940-1942 - solo in inglese

Wood axe, made in Camp Petawawa, 1940-1942. Carved from one piece of wood, the object likely served a decorative purpose.

This axe is part of a group of wood objects collected and preserved by the family of internee Girolamo (George) Capponi.

The axe along with other wooden objects in the collection, may have been made by Capponi himself. He had written to his wife asking for wood-working tools.
