How to Control a Split with a Froe (Riving Basics) 

Super clear. Super helpful. Thanks!

Another person has benefited from your work. Thank you!

Thank you, sir. I want to learn riving with a froe. I dislike sawing, and today read in a book on history of tools that ripping with a saw is fairly new; old timey hand tool wood workers split their wood instead of sawing. So, i need to learn this skill better, and your video is one of the few that shows riving for furniture, not firewood.

This is becoming a lost art, thank you for posting.

Best riving video I’ve seen

Great advise at the end. Great content. Thanks

Great presentation. The part about ideal woods for riving with froes is exceptional! I recently brought down a dying Chinese Chestnut and wonder if anyone knows if this might be a good wood for riving with a froe. Thanks for sharing!

Nice useful content. Thanks for this!

Very interesting, thank you

The first thing is to pick a goog piece to work with of a good species that will split well.
