This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Tool care.

Froes are a fairly precise way to split a hunk of wood right where you want.  If they're dull they are hard to get started in the wood.  Let's try our hand at sharpening one of them!

 
 

Here's a gentleman restoring one:


Minimum requirements:
 - Sharpen a froe
 - Make it visibly sharp

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
 - Closeup of dull froe edge
 - Action shot of sharpening
 - Closeup of a sharp froe edge
