Froe - Quality German Pattern |
|
The traditional German Patterned Froe is professionally forged in Germany from top quality steel. The entire blade has been hardened and tempered to Rc 56 for superior edge retention and toughness to resist chipping. The blade measures approximately 15" long, 1 3/4" wide and 1/4" thick. The eye is very solidly constructed with the walls a full 3/16" thick. Comes with an 19 1/2" long Ash handle. This quality Froe is made in Germany by Oxhead. We recommend the use of a heavy wooden mallet for striking the froe. View Traditional Woodworker's Entire Selection of Froes
The Froe The traditional uses of the froe are many: splitting shingles, splitting oak logs for wheel spokes, splitting wood for chair legs and so on. The froe is typically driven into the wood by striking it with a Mallet or a Club and then rocked sideways while the edge is forced further down into the wood until the split opens up fully.
