FROM FORESTS TO TOOLS: THE LEGACY OF FINNISH WOODCRAFT TRADITIONS

The museum also physically hosts abandoned Finnish timber tools to restore and preserve Finland’s log architectural heritage.

Traditional tools in Finland are often associated with the country’s historical livelihood practices, such as agriculture, forestry, fishing, and craftsmanship. One of the many displayed tools is the Finnish puukko, a versatile fixed-blade knife traditionally used for woodworking, hunting, fishing, and general utility. Additionally, the Finnish axe is a traditional tool in this collection, which is essential for forestry and woodworking. The Fiskars brand originated in Finland and is recognised worldwide for its high-quality axes.
