    Default Green woodworking tools

    I have done some green woodwork whilst in the UK. Back in Oz, it seems a lot harder to find the appropriate tools. I am looking to buy a good quality 2nd hand froe and drawknife. I occasionally see the odd drawknife around but I rarely see a froe. Does anyone know where I can get one or does any one want to sell me one?

    Thanks for your help,
    Phil

    I think ebay is your best bet. Green woodworking is not popular in Australia, which is a shame.

    I watched a Stan from Mullumbimby Woodworks make a green wood stool. Nice.

    Searching for froe on ebay Australia will not give you any results you will have to browse ebay Australia collectables

    Best Luck

    Phil,
    Try ebay. They are more common in the US than here. Keep scouring the junk shops and markets.
    Other potion is to make you,r own. Good steel in old leaf springs or mower blades.

    Regards
    John.
