Today I got an e-mail from Woodcraft with an intersting deal: Free laser engraving on any engravable product bought online until November 24. It got my attention, so I browsed through the engravable items and came across something I have been looking for since they disappeared from the marked a couple years ago. A froe. Now, if I do order one this weekend, I have the option of having 30 characters laser engraved onto it (somewhere, I don’t know where).
So share your wit. What clever saying would you have engraved? My first thought: “Hit me!”. Or how about “Splitting a gut”? Okay, that was bad.

Chris,
That primitive instrument you call froe is, in proper parlance, a lataxe. Therefore I suggest:
"I am lataxe: I rive to remake"
"Lataxe of rivendell" (Or maybe "Frodo the Froe").
But if you insist:
"Trees! Fear me, the froe!"
