For the porch roof I want to put wood shingles on it. In my Foxfire books http://www.foxfire.org/ there is a story on how to make wood shingles. So today I ordered the tool that's used to make them.
It's called a froe and mine is new old stock. I kind of lucked into this one. I've been watching some on ebay and I pulled up the search a few days ago I noticed somebody had posted a new one. It had a sticker on it for "THE AXE HOLE" so i googled it up and it took me to their website. http://www.theaxehole.com/ I talked to Doc and he was so nice. He said his dad purchased a bunch of these when a logging co went out of business in the 50s but its never been used!
YEAH! i can't wait to get it
