Very nice demonstration. Once again, I've learned a lot from this for my own woodworking craft! I bought a froe some years ago and I've been hesitant to work with it - seeing you definitely gives me motivation to get back to it. Thank you so much for sharing!
The sounds on this video are outstanding. That oak really chatters the entire time, does not want to give up. Great demo, your swing seems like it's almost Tai Chi.
Those are some nice blanks you cut for the staves! All my local tress are much smaller. I would require about 4 different logs to get the equivalent of what you got out of 1!
Wow, that is some sweet, super stable oak and you did it all with hand tools in no time at all, super impressive. Would love to be the proud owner of those bits of "off cut" sap wood/bark, farless the heartwood. Curious that you only set the wedges with the steel hammer, then switch to the wooden "club", is that because it transfers less vibration than steel?
Aside from a hatchet, a froe is my favorite wood working tool

I like those small wedges and will have to look at forging a few.

There is no better sound than the splintering of wood fibers

Where do you get those wedges. Did you make them? Nice video
Bro.... You must have a lot more time on your hands for this stuff than I do. I can't watch too much posing
The club has seen some things
Great demo! How long was the log dried before quartering, or was it done right after it fell?
the splitting wedges.. your make or someone else's?
good
Why are you using a free branch instead of a steel hammer.
Less wear on the wedges
One can tell you have the move
Thanks for the video! Take a tip on "donate 4 fun"
Wow, could you be anymore dramatic with the choreographed swing?
It ain’t the meat, it’s the motion!
@@jamestowncooperage yes I agree and you have the coopered barrels to prove it.
