I hope your dad is doing okay buckin, my dad is the most important man in my life recovering from a shoulder surgery so I know what it’s like to see your old man down, you’re a great man and you and him stay strong 💪🏻

[@anthonyr6286]

It's funny how many people look at you odd because you say you split with a 3 1/2 lb Axe and it's easy! Thank you for showing that flick technique. Makes quick work out of a 36" red oak round 💪

[@JayKoczan]

Luckily there aren't too many knots in the wood I get to buck and split Sunday at my in-law's. They had their red oak limbed out, so I'm taking my Stihl 029 and a splitting maul to break it down into firewood for my in-laws, and a load for our house. Can't wait to get to work!

My grandfather worked for Great Northern Paper for 40 plus yrs, grew up in the Northern Maine woods 🪵 so using a chainsaw has been a huge part of my life.

All right Buckin. That was the last video I could watch of you swinging that axe. I had to pause the video and go order one. Been looking and couldn't decide, but that one looks so fun. Prayers and thoughts

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Ha ha yer the man you will see my friend , and I also got news of my new handle design coming soon

[@mdocod]

I like a heavy maul for the knots... you can put enough power down to actually just break knots.

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

Nothing quite conveys one's experience and confidence splitting wood like doing so in corduroy shoes and cut-offs. Keep on swingin' in the free world!

[@martyrutter3630]

Praying for Mr Smith ❤🙏🙏

[@johnkenny2210]

Buckin thank for sharing the pointers on the axe 🪓 glad to see you spending quality time with your father hoping 🙏 all is well Johno Darwin NT 👍 Don't like your safety boots swinging a axe 🪓

[@Brandon.Fischer]

Most of those cracks over the knot you did is why I do things different than you. If I stick it across a knot for whatever reason, Im using a good, but expendable splitting maul. I reach over grab a 16# sledge and use the maul as a wedge. You have a LOT more fineness than I do. I will say, your timber stand is much straighter grain than mine. Our methods are almost different by necessity. Im kinda jealous actually, that looks so cathartic by comparison to my “Hulk Smash” methods 😂

[@hokimocus]

The difference about the morning and evening times are the place between light and dark that some call, "the magic hour."

[@sydrider6023]

My father left me a year ago now, age 92. He could split wood like no one else. I was hitting with everything I had and got nothing done. He would grab the axe and make them break appart like it was nothing.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Exactly the point of this video.. sounds like a man after my own heart

[@highdesignfool]

The Buckin toe flick!

[@matthew-gn4qd]

that is fantastic wood I must get some like that. I like wood and the grain and knots. they were good trees in those logs Billy.

[@JimmynVegas]

Crozier $100 down 8-12 month wait. $485 +tax and shipping due upon completion. Non-refundable. It’s a ball park price for a Premium name axe. I want also but it’s gonna have to wait for now.

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

​@@JimmynVegas thank you for getting back to me. I'd definitely pay that for a Buckin splitter. I'd be so proud to hold, and own one. Yea little bit of a waiting period. I don't mind putting 100.00 down and wait.
