Used by colonial settlers to split shingles, shakes, and lumber for homes in early America. The shingle froe is still a primary tool in many traditional woodworking projects which require riving, like Windsor chair spindles and spoons. * Simply pound the blade of the froe into the end of a short log with a mallet or maul. * Then pull back on the handle to split off a slice of the wood with the grain. * Handle is 18" long. * Blade is 15" long and 2" deep. * Roughly finished. * Made in the USA.
