Poor Mans Froe

[Hammock_man]

I have recently got an unfinished blade via the gift it on thread. I wanted a way my grandson could help me prepare firewood so using the said Blade I quickly knocked up a froe to keep his hands away from the blade edge. Very rough and ready but does the job.

Looks usable, have you tried it yet?

Oh yes, Can split kiln dried logs easy. I have a wooden post that I use as an "Anvil" for want of a better word, for battoning. It is just a bit too high for the grandson to rest the froe on the log and the post together so a MkII is needed ( post and/or froe)
