Good job that should hold up a long time

firecaster I’m’ not going to make any shingles. I just use it to split logs down to a size small enough to work on my shaving horse with a draw knife . It works great on green wood. I would like to make a country chair or hickory bottom chair. I like working with the old fashioned tools.

-- You will never build it unless you try. The second one always turns out better.

Hey, welcome to LumberJocks. It’s good to see someone on here that knows what a froe is!!! I made two last fall and absolutely love them. I’m looking forward to your future projects. Thanks for posting.
