Re-inventing the.....axe?
as least as it relates to splitting firewood. You cold-weather guys will have to tell me -- is this guy just a technical master at wood-splitting, or is there something to his design?

And, aren't the sections he's splitting frozen? Making it easier to split. Or, more likely, fracturing along the straightest point?
I don't split alot of wood so I don't know. Don't hate me!

Unique strike angle and not a branch running through any of them. I can appreciate the frozen approach.

BUT WAIT....if you order now we will double your order ....and include a free can of Flex Seal.
I have never split nor seen wood split with such ease beyond totally dry pine boards. Possibly he is working in very sub-freezing temps which would be conducive to the wood shattering with less force applied then would be necessary to physically split it.

I agree. I think that wood has been drying for a few years. You can hear how brittle it is. I think if you dropped one of those logs off a 3 story building it would break into 100 pieces. Put a green oak log down and that video would be 2 hours long.

having been on wood duty when we went camping for the last two years i can't believe this would happen in the summer. i think it has more to do with the temperature than anything else (and the wood).

Roselli Axe
http://backcreekbushcraft.blogspot.c...eveiw.html?m=1 I have the hatchet and like carrying it for hunting. It can be used as a Ulu for skinning and butchering.

That is a specialty tool, dont try to chop a tree down with it.

Its a splitting maul made for splitting, he would have an easier time with a bungee cord wrapped around them. Also that is a very straight grained wood like polar. I have that tool and it works just that well.

So if I cut down a tree...is it ok to chop it and split it like this? Also are you suppose to dry it or something?
I buy pre cut would when I camp... So I'd like to know how to prep fore a camp fire from scratch. It wouldn't be a bad idea lol |

I like small diameter trees...
No splitting required.

This ^ I cut, bucked, split, stacked and burned 7 cords this last winter and won't waste my time with that. I have a maul and it works just fine, it should be noted that I love to split wood. All you have to do is know where to swing and know about the species of wood you're splitting and where to swing and its not difficult at all. Just my .02

It's the wood as much as any thing, straight grained dry wood is fun to split! try twisted or interlocked grained, half dry wood and it would bounce off. A tip for eucaliptas, split it within 24 hours of cutting or wait till dry.

the traditional axe is not given a run in this demonstration; something along the lines of The Pepsi Challenge would be appropriate. i'd like to see the demonstrator use a traditional axe on a stump like the one used in the demonstration, and in identical conditions.
