	Traditional Woodworker - Froe - Basic American Pattern
		It is a basic but sturdy Froe model where the blade measures approximately 15" long, 2" wide and 1/4" thick.
		The traditional uses of the froe are many: splitting shingles, splitting oak logs for wheel spokes, splitting wood for chair legs and so on.
		The froe is typically driven into the wood by striking it with a Mallet or a Club and then rocked sideways while the edge is forced further down into the wood until the split opens up fully.

	Logging Tools: Froe and Maul (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		By straining the bolt, held in a crotch, while twisting the froe with its handle, the river (as in user of a riving axe) could steer the split any way he wanted.
		The froe had an edge with a pretty obtuse angle, so that if a logger referred to his ax as "a froe", it was understood that his ax needed sharpening!
		The maul was used to drive the froe into the wood -- an iron maul couldn't be used without damaging the froe.

	riving with froe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The froe is essentially a long narrow wedge fitted with a handle, so that leverage can be applied to the splitting process.
		The edge of the froe is driven into the top of the bolt with a 'beetle' or froe club.
		Leverage is applied by working the froe handle back and forth, sliding it further into the cleft as the split advances.

		Froes an ardent fan of the Buffalo Bills who considers himself the common mans fan who likes plain old sports: football, baseball, and basketball.
		Froe has always been a fan of James Harris; 1st Black Quarterback drafted in the NFL (Bills in 1969 go figure) and now current Vice President of Player Personnel of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
		His resolve to stay the course in spite of the obstacles resonated with me. Froe enjoys playing golf, working with the youth and the community of southwest Fulton County.

		Mauro has participated in several of the recent Theater Froe Froe Projects providing the music along with Anton Janssens and Daan Stuyven Participating in any of these productions seem to be quite an experience.
		While in last summer's performance of Freaks he dressed as a cheerleader for the opening ceremony (nice legs by the way) and both he and Anton were suspended high up in a metal posted tent - which must have been damn scary in the thunderstorm during one of the Brugge performances.
		Additional performances are scheduled in Leidsepleintheater, Amsterdam on 3 July 2004, and on 31 July and 1 August at Theater Aan Zee festival.

	Shingle Froe
		Many traditional woodworking jobs require cants, blocks, or quartered logs to be riven with more precision and finesse than a maul and splitting wedge permit before the drawknife and spokeshave take over.
		Drive it with a wooden mallet or club, then use the long handle to "steer" and propel your cleft along the workpiece.
		The Peavey company has been making logging and woodcutting tools in Maine since the days the froe was in common use.
