I'm restoring an old oak door which was hand hewn. I've removed some trim around the door and the wood surface under the trim hasn't been hand hewn. How can I get a hand hewn look? I've heard about using power planes and have done some testing on a piece of scrap, the look isn't the same as what I have on the door. Have been reading about a "adz" but don't own one or know if this would yield similar look to the surrounding area. Are there any recommendations as to how to achieve this look?
The lighter area in the photo is the area that needs to be hand hewn.
The wood frame around the iron work below is the trim I am removing
Thanks
Jim
