Once the froe has begun to split the wood, the woodworker uses the handle of the froe as a lever by pushing and pulling the handle to and fro to force the wood apart.
My understanding is that you get a dry section of the wood you will use for shingles, put it on a surface at waist level, hold the handle of the froe in your left hand with the blade facing you.
This is accomplished by levering the handle of the froe so that blade's heel presses against the massive side of the split.
Shafts could be ripped by handsaw from one-inch planks cut with a pit saw, or they were sometimes split from a billet with a froe , or wedge.
Unfortunately, the froe has become virtually obsolete since power-driven splitters were introduced.
