Greetings!
We are Benji, Max & Benni – three friends with a great passion for wood, old tools and the feeling of creating something with our own hands.
With Axt & Astl, we want to create a place where craftsmanship can become part of everyday life again – honest, analogue, and fun.
Figure Carving Artist
Benji
Carves with enthusiasm and an eye for detail – turns every piece of wood into a figure full of character and brings joy into craftsmanship.
With Axe and Knife
MAX
Craftsman, tool designer and outdoor guide with experience on three continents. If you ask our Max something you’ll usually get more than expected.
Implementer
BENNI
rings order into creative chaos. Makes sure courses run, people come together & everything has form and function.
LESS SCROLLING. MORE CARVING!
Axt & Astl isn’t a run-of-the-mill course program – it’s a place for real craftsmanship and people who like making things with their own hands.
We show how you can make things yourself with simple tools, local wood and a bit of time – whether a spoon, a figure or something entirely your own.
It’s not just about the finished piece, but about doing. About learning, experimenting – and about building a community where craftsmanship has space again.
“A handmade object carries
always a piece of time within itself.”
Peter Korn
