Yeah, definitely.  While you are out looking for a froe, keep an eye out
for wooden youth sized baseball bats.  Rumored to make good froe handles,
and maybe turn one into a slick handle too.

I've got a newish froe, think Scott G assisted in the acquisition, but
forget who he got it from, and a vintage hand forged froe that I fished out
from under a vendor's table at a flea.  The hand forged shown below.  The
newish one is sitting a few feet away

the froe, or adze, or almost any tool right now.
