>In the first article in the bending series Peter has included an excellent description on how to control the direction of a split when riving wood with a froe. This is one of the tricks of the chairmaker's trade that has been passed down to us from contemporary basketmakers. They seem to have a more seamless connection with tradition than we chairmakers have.
