The fiskars splitting axe he used and an old tire is what I use here, for those that have doubts...google them, thousands of reviews will make you a believer too...better yet, try one.

I know that won't work on Elm or Hickory, probably not oak either. Way to stringy to split like that. Although I did like the idea of wrapping the firewood to keep it together....:thumbsup:

I have some Yellow birch that I would love to watch anyone try to split by hand.

I've seen /heard of that method, just never seen it demonstrated so clearly.

Sure saves alot of bending over.

Wonder how that would work with a hydraulic log splitter, with real big rounds??

That's what I was thinking maybe using a cable with a piece of bungee.... Most of my stuff don't like to split even if I go the whole way with the splitter.... It might be more of a hassle....
