My froe thumper split so I grabbed a hammer. The second time I hit the froe it broke and not even where I hit it. So I ordered a Langsner froe from Lie-Nielsen but they are out of stock. Not wanting to wait 4 weeks I ordered one from Highland Hardware and received it today, 2 days later.
So keep those hammers away from your froes. Yes, I knew better but sometimes when you’re in a hurry and it’s starting to get dark…
Oh yea. I made a new thumper, club, whacker, whatever. This one from Osage orange kiln dried ‘cause that’s what I had on hand.
