| Green Team volunteers generally use bowsaws or billhooks to cut out growing shoots in a selected area known as a cant. |
| Mainly I use the felling axe, snedding axe, side axe, saws, billhooks, slasher, froe or riving axe, adze and a drawknife. |
| It must also be remembered that billhooks, slashers, chains, pick-handles and many other kind of weapons were used and often caused serious injury. |
| There every boat is crewed, the men armed with billhooks spear the fish and pull them thrashing from the water, as the Mattanza continues the sea turns red with blood. |
