When my father got angry with my mother, he would go in the backyard and hew wood with his axe.

The man used a scythe to hew his way through the field of grass.

While the little boy wanted to hew trees with his big brother, he was too small to wield an axe.

The jeweler has tools that allow him to hew precious stones so they will fit in specific ring bases.

Since my mother cannot hew wood for her fireplace, I visit her once a week to fill her woodbin.
