I have some logs I've cut to a rough length and needed a froe to get them to rough size. I just rec'd the LN froe. I had an old knot that was intended to to be carved up to make my hammer, but when I went looking for it, well in a cleaning frenzy this winter it didn't make the cut but did make it to the fire. So, back to square one, prompting the question, what do you like in a Froe hammer?
