Hey buckin much love from Maine. KZbin just recommended a crazy Russian video where he splits wood inside a old tire seems like a good idea for the ones you gotta pick up and set anyways. Loved seeing your mom ,thank you for the love and kindness you put in all your videos.

Elwell were a company based in Sheffield, England who produced a huge variety of edge tools back in the day, exporting to many countries across the world. Don't let it go, old-fashioned Sheffield steel is becoming rarer by the day. Nice videos, Billy Ray, keep up the outstanding work! All the best from England!

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

Nick Belt hi Nick, came across another vintage head recently stamped "GILPIN" 1955, turns out it's a Birmingham maker around the same time as ELWELL, never heard of it before. Just thought I'd throw that in bud, all the best from Scotland 👍

Buckin, I've split alot of wood in my nearly 69 years my brother. I know the movements, weight distributions, some slick strokes even perhaps. But this is true Billy Ray, no smoke, I've never seen a more prolific wood splitter on the axe than you bro. I had truly rather have YOU feeling good than I had a splitter! Love you my friend. Hugs around to y'all. Love.

[@alantippett7602]

Great to meet your Mother, yes you do look alike! You make using that 6lb axe look easy, they're big! You seen to use the weight of the axe head and drop it into the wood, whereas when using the maul it looks like you are using more force with the swing. When I was an apprentice my old boss used to say, "Al, let the tool do the work." What a great week ! 🙂👍❤

[@bearpawtimber8739]

I was never a fan of plastic handles until I got my Fiskars splitting maul. Shaped like an axe, but splits like a maul. I think she's an 8 pounder?

I wish that I could post pictures on here. I built my 11 year old step son a 6lb maul. With that and his axe he is a wood chopping maniac. He'll jump off the school bus and go straight to chopping wood all winter long. My 9 year old is right there with him. I'm hoping you get to meet them at Buckin Stock.

[@johndunbar2393]

HEY ALRIGHT MAMA BUCKIN!!!!!!!! Good to see her! Nice little video for a Thursday morning! Nothing like getting my day of running a chainsaw, started with some Buckin! "On this installment of 'Buckin' in the Morning', we have a special guest, Mama Buckin!!" Lol! I hope each and every one of you, have an absolutely awesome day! Know, you are amazing people, and that you are loved!

[@pnyholm]

I also prefer splitting with axes. But for some pieces with knots, there is a place for a maul. Or even a hydraulic splitter.

[@Z-Bart]

I had to laugh at the 'piece that would have wound up in the neighbors yard'. We've all chased um! I enjoy some hand splitting when the birch is frozen. Because I didn't win the 50,000 sub axe, I'll have to use my maul. :)

[@sawsurgeon]

Howdy Folks! 126 Days, 19 Hours and 16 Minutes 'till Buckin'Stock! Great to see Momma Buckin'! And what about Mr. Brooks and a Buckin' Special? Huh? Huh? 50K??? Great stuff! You said you "Smoked" that block with the mall... C'mon buddy. One thing we have in common is the old Torque Steer. You know how the knee comes up when'st yer putting it all out there... That my friend is Smoking it, seen ya do it a hundred times or my name isn't BlaqueJackShellaq! My maul has the same profile as yours, unfortunately mine is shinier than that one! As you said, we don't take only one splitter to the pile. I'd much prefer to whack with an axe, but these knotty hardwoods don't often allow that luxury!

Hi Mrs Buckin

[@jakereiter8704]

I agree I do not like how my maul flings everywhere. Gotta get an axe!!

[@w8stral]

A heavy axe. Light weight axes are .... useless. Now if into dense stringy wood of medium or large size? Axes are almost useless and you need a maul.

[@rickz7657]

Buckin the Elwell is a beast, be lovin it !!!

[@tedjohn441]

I don't think my heaviest AXE is 5lbs. My maul is 9lbs. Getting old I use a log splitter most of the time. but there are times I like to split with an AXE. I picked up a nice double bit at Ace Hardware it's a Collins double bit polished metal It was on sale I brought it to the managers attention that is was hung very poorly and he gave it to me for half of the sale price. $15. I was able to get it off of the perfectly good handle made the handle fit the eye and it works beautiful. Never owned a double bit before. And one day when I was feeling good I took down a poplar which was 18in. in Dia. I now have kindling to last me a few years. But after felling that I remembered why God created the chainsaw. I can't imaging the men back in the day working with axe's all day every day. I wouldn't want to mess with them!!!

Great video Buckin it was awesome to see mom is doing great keep up the great work and have a great day be safe.

[@richardsullivan1776]

Buckin' I bought a 6 pound maul at the hardware store a few years back, it looks nice does what its intended to do but way too much metal. Similar to your maul but more blunt at the end. I'll never buy one again. I don't care who makes it, haha. My 4 1/2 pound Plumb Victory, 3 1/2 pound felling axe both with hickory handles I put on them are beautiful and functional. People bash fiberglass but I love my Fiskars X27. Its a splitting axe, you have one. It will dance around a maul the majority of the time. I only keep my maul because it doubles as a sledgehammer!

[@justinpalcic5906]

Your mom is a sweetheart! Great test Buckin!

[@rogertanis3504]

Great to see miss sherry again. I find the maul doesn't have as much "nimbility". I know you know what i mean.

[@ericriddle467]

We cut a lot of Post oak and red oak down here in Missouri would you use an axe for that or a maul just wondering I hardly ever see anybody use an axe around here

[@w8stral]

Stringy wood like oak? Yea, maul is superior to an axe. But remember the axe in question is never a falling axe, but rather either a double headed axe or like the axe Buckin is using, a big heavy bruiser. Maple without knots, then an axe is superior. Not sure what else you have in Missouri. Lived in Ohio before moving to Washington and oak, elm, sycamore. Either case, multiple tools. I always take both or just use a wedge and a maul to split in half and then an axe to whittle the edges.

[@nate2838]

Hey Buckin, i appreciate your making this video. This is something i've been observing over time. I've always reshaped the maul blade to have a continuous curve from edge to back so it would stick better and allow the weight to push it into the wood. I've never had a chance to work with a nice 6lb axe so i was wonder. Thanks for answering the question i hadn't yet asked :)

So, I (70) just Subscribed friend to your channel. When I retired at 64, where I didn't have time on my hands before, I started many hobbies … One was hatchets and axes, that's my reason for viewing your channel.

Hi There BUCKIN!!

[@anssimakela]

Axe looks good and works well, maul is too heavy..

[@duncanmacdonald3164]

Generally that is the case but for the record, in this comparison both are 6 pounds. As he says, bring more than one tool to the wood pile. Probably at least a 6 lb maul and a lighter axe.

I am a new subscriber I was referred by outdoors with the Morgans. Mike was right your channel is definitely worth subscribing to you have a unique style that is interesting

That axe head is as big as Buckins head

[@johnclarke6647]

I got out and split up a tub of oak biscuits that I had cut with my various saws, yesterday. They are about one inch thick, so I used my Husqvarna Carpenters axe, while sitting on a stool at my chopping block. I had an empty milk crate on my right and a stack of biscuits on my left. I would cut them into one inch chunks and throw them in the crate. I now have two full crates full of one inch oak chunks to use on my grill or smokers. I love a good smoked Boston butt and summer is coming.

[@redcanoe14]

Greetings Buckin' and mum! Yes, being an Englishman I have seen and swung many Elwell Axes. My Grandpa's axe is a 4.5lb Elwell and i have another old one that is slightly bigger close to what you have. I also have a rare 2.5lb Elwell 'felling' axe with a round poll and large 'egg-shaped' eye. It has a very curved cutting edge. I still have a 7lb maul I split tons of Elm with back in England in the 1980's, much of it was 30" diameter and hard as Hell...hard on the elbows too :)
