The Woodcrafters Froe has been designed by Alex Finberg & the Woodcrafters Team as a wood splitting tool for cleaving green wood for spooncarving. Forged in Ukraine to the highest quality standards, handled with an ash haft and fitted with a 5mm veg tanned leather sheath. 

Alex: "These froes are excellent, they are not only beautifully forged with a seamless eye wrapped around an ash handle, they bite into the log exceptionally well. They are designed for efficient fine cleaving, so you can get the most of your billets."

It arrives sharp and ready to use with a 5mm veg tanned leather sheath.
