I have to laugh at the timing, hoping others will join in. While avoiding
work, and searching for froe pictures, I found this other picture of Tom
Holloway's froe hammer.  Hard right in the picture, with the froe laying
down behind it.  I forget who gave it the Turkey Leg nickname, but it
seemed very fitting.  This was from the 2009 version of the Bagathon event,
which we sadly haven't held for the last few years.

Hope Tom H doesn't mind me posting.
