Really nice splitter. I have a few different manual ones. That one is great.

How;s it woirk on hurliqued wood? Tree that twisted and has lots of branches - usually found on Doug Fir old and second growth trees - lower or center rotten sections discarded by loggers.

Try machine that with dry Oak or Madrona.

I will be making one of those! Lifts the axe for you by storing some of your effort and gravity in a spring.

Very nice...for soft wood with lovly straight grain.

Try using that with gnarly Oak, or for some me real fun, Osage Orange and see how far you get. LOL

As someone who has split a few logs in his time, that thing blows me away. It’s a perfect example of something that can be done easier/better if you had only taken a minute to think of it as a problem that needed to be solved. In other words, people use an ax and a stump because that’s just the way it’s always been done.

Of course, I’m leaving out the gas splitter because that is not a solution in a SHTF scenario.
