Froes

What is a Froe? - A froe is a traditional woodworking hand tool designed for splitting wood cleanly along the grain. Unlike an axe, which cuts across fibres, a froe works by leveraging the natural structure of the wood, making it ideal for controlled, consistent results.

Commonly used in green woodworking, froes are perfect for producing shingles, shakes, fence rails, splitting logs into smaller kindle firewood and other timber components
