Hand-forged splitting froe with ash wood handle and leather sheath

Quiet strength, held in the hand

On a stump at the edge of the woods, the Hand-Forged Splitting Froe rests with quiet intent—ash handle warm to the touch, leather sheath soft with promise.

Work that begins at the grain

A measured split, a steadier day

Tradition, sharpened

Riving by guesswork steals time and good timber. The Hand-Forged Splitting Froe centers the line and holds it, so each blow follows the grain rather than fighting it. The ash handle gives leverage you feel, while the compact design stays nimble at the block or in the field.

From log to useful stock

Clean splits make straighter chair parts, tighter baskets, and shingles that seat true. Starting with grain-led pieces means less waste at the bench and more rhythm in the workday. With its leather sheath and handle holder, it moves safely from shed to woods, ready when the wood is green and the window is short.

For those who make from the source

Green woodworkers, chairmakers, basket weavers, and anyone preparing spoon blanks or kindling with care.

Put it to work

Set the blade along the grain, strike the spine, and use the handle to lever a controlled split for billets, shingles, or blanks.
