Gransfors Bruk Froe is used to split wood very finely, and uses include making shingles for a roof. The wood to be split is placed under the edge. The user steadies the tool with one hand on the vertical handle and strikes the blade with a mallet using the other hand. The froe is easy to transport because the handle is removable. This froe weighs 2,6 pounds and its length with handle is 17 inches.
