Topic tags/keywords: tip resource froe rustic

Reading Rusticwood, the other day, I rememebered this web site.

I noticed one of our Jocks was going to make his own froe.

This may help.

I used to know of an old timer that made his froes from old auto leaf springs…..don’t know if this would still work today!

I’ve thought of that myself. Some cars still have leaf springs. I know pickups still use them.

That’s all you need to do is weld a piece of pipe for the handle eye.

I ended up buying this one from Highland Hardware though.

While camping last year I found some spalted maple logs and commented that if I had a Froe we wouldn’t have a fire! There’s a Froe hanging on my shop wall now, courtesy of Santa.
