I believe the answer is:

hew

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">strike with an axe</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for hew that I've seen before include "Chop; sounds like colour" , "Carve out of wood or stone" , "Shape wood, as with an axe" , "Carve with axe" , "Cut with blows" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
