This is a long handled froe. My wife calls a handy Ho. Smiling I made it at our blacksmithing club down in Chattanooga. I'm just not impressed with store bought garden tools. I like wood handles best because they take the shock of heavy use and don't transmit the stress into your elbow and wrist.

I made this one out of a ball peen hammer so the is steel resistant to rust and hard enough to shape sandstone. What do you think? I'm all ears!
