Store saw, wood blocks and time

[Darwoth]

as someone with a proud history of redneckery and not a stranger to splitting wood i must agree that axe is a piece of crap.

Be sure to sharpen your axe. A dull axe makes for **** work. A sharp one saves time. Though if you sharpen by hand it gives you something nice to master over time.

Hell, i don't think my cleaving axe (don't know the correct term in english, in dutch it's a kliefbijl) was ever sharpened. Just make sure it weighs as much as you can comfortably lift above your head in a swing and you should be able to split pretty much anything you can lift in the first place

I love all these sharp edges and percentages. You lumberjack nerds! The most fun I had as a kid and having to chop wood was finding the lizards. It was always the best part! Also, there is nothing like baking a potato in the ashes! Good stuff.

I like the pictures Bash! Thanks for sharing.

In my hometown this is what we have XD

Brings back memories My grandma's hatchet was never sharpened. It was all rusty and heavy as I remember ....

Forged iron is the best kind, if it's made by a local blacksmith back then it can last for a multiple lifetimes if taken care off. Show some love to it.
