Beautiful idea. But i recommend getting another square piece of metal and criss-cross cutting it into triangles then adding them to the base but welding them at an angle from center, down, and out like this "/ \". The objective is to force the wood outwards so you dont run into the issue where if the wood is soft it could get stuck at the base. Problem solved. It may also provide a little more metal to provide support for the middle spike by welding the tips of the triangle pieces to it in the center spike.

Seems like it could also be adapted to a powered log splitter. However, use splitting axe heads instead of chopping/felling axe heads. Splitting axe heads have a wider taper to aid in splitting.

Wood is ranked in hardness by pressing ball bearings into the wood and how much pressure it takes. On every continent with trees their are soft woods and hard woods. Hickory trees are some of the hardest In The world and they grow all over. The idea that all trees in Australia are "extra hard" is incorrect. Figure out the species of tree and look at the hardness ranking world wide. Australia doesn't have any top ranking species for hardness....

Only thing I would possibly do a little different is to angle the blades slightly to get a corkscrew effect that should split the wood easier. Maybe wrong on that point,but metal is free,I can weld,so give it a try.

I made one today and can confirm its not as effective as I hoped it would be. What I have found is that the wood keeps getting stuck on it the middle spike before the axe heads have a chance to penetrate and split the wood. I had a few ash logs lying around that have been drying in the shed for a few months and they literally just hopped off this thing. Maybe on softer wood it would be ok. I might try and lower the middle spike or remove it altogether and see if that helps any bit.

So that's what we burn instead of cutting down redwoods. I made this over the last week and tried it yesterday and it will not go through the tan oak unfortunately. I'll probably end up using it for those few times I am splitting redwood or make it apart of a hydraulic splitter. I haven't decided yet.
