Wood Splitting Froe

Want to split logs into usable lumber? This hand-forged froe is the right tool for the job.

Along with a rustic long grain mallet, this froe is designed to help you half logs right down the middle through the heart.

Knock it in until the wood starts to split, then twist the handle to wedge the log apart into its halves or quarters.

This froe has a 6” long blade and 8” long handle.

The maker of these tools has been manufacturing high quality woodworking and carving hand tools in Pakistan for over three generations. 

All their tools are hand-forged, and as a result each tool is unique and may vary slightly in appearance from the photos… but that’s what makes ‘em special.

I’ve been absolutely blown away by the quality of the craftsmanship. Not just in how well their tools work — but how friggin’ cool they look.

Whether you’re doing green woodworking or fine furniture making, these tools are sure to become some of the most prized in your shop.
