Gransfors Bruks Froe Axe
The Gransfors Bruks Froe is a a very interesting tool used for splitting shakes (shingles) off a block of wood.We admit to having no first-hand personal experience with the Froe.   We just decided to stock it because, like all Gransfors work, they are such nicely crafted pieces.The handle of the Froe is 17 inches (44 cm) long.The cutting edge is 12 inches (30 cm)The Froe weighs 3 pounds (1.4 kg).The Froe is delivered in two pieces.   Simply drop the eye of the head over the handle when you want to use the tool.
