How to Chop Big Rounds and Knots!

[@sparkyswearsalot]

Never thought I'd become so fascinated by chopping wood. But here I am, learning all sorts of new stuff.

[@eliassimon666]

That chopping sequence at the end is the only ASMR I've ever enjoyed.

[@midwestzery6761]

I love listening to the environment behind her. So so calm and relaxing even when you get the sound from the axe hitting the wood.

[@alanchristensen5735]

This is what I call reading the wood. I love splitting firewood with my old axe. Very good job 👍 You definitely know what you're doing.

[@joewalnutcompra3107]

It's very satisfying to watch you wood chopping.

[@FalkorsTale]

Great idea using the white chalk! Really helps to see what you're talking about.

[@darylcunningham7098]

Yeah, it's like she is the John Madden of wood chopping 😂

[@marksmallman4572]

Girl, you are a force of nature!

[@ashleycpearl]

Knotted pieces are such a blessing and a curse. Thanks for sharing! Love this video 🙌🏼🪵

[@keithcole8536]

It depends on how many knots are in the round and I have busted by hand many in my time that were eat up with them

[@timebandit2951]

Splitting is always a blessing. Ya get to work out issues and heat the house. It's a win, win, situation. Okay Doky!

[@megsfordays]

Watching your videos have definitely influenced my style choices lately… I’ve been reaching for my beanies and flannels a lot more 😂 Soon I’ll be shopping for an axe for the imaginary wood I’ll split

[@TSIRKLAND]

The blackout at the end, with that perfect chop sound echoing in our ears. Very nice video editing!

[@jorundr1907]

Strong, wise, and have a beautiful smile. Perfect girl. Good job.

[@michaelmcgourty9535]

This is the most educational video I've seen on the KZbins in quite a while. Thanks Nicole!

[@brunomeral7885]

Thank you Sensei for your wisdom. I wouldn't have known how wood could work without your skillful teaching.

[@NicoleCoenen]

You are very welcome, grasschopper.

[@brunomeral7885]

@@NicoleCoenen I've never cut logs, so any information is new to me...and, who knows, might save my life!

[@davidfarrelly6308]

Wow, I could watch this all day. That girls a machine. Amazing

[@lisvettorres2809]

I love the new camera angle. It allows me to get closer to the wood which makes it more engaging ❤

[@ChestersdadDave]

I am amazed (and envious) of your accuracy!

[@leftoverporkchop9972]

yeah, i think she may have done this once! 😄

[@derelten]

Love the the added color overlays

[@babajaga9249]

Wood chopping is very healthy for body and soul - so I like very much to do that - and watching Nicole is absolutely fascinating and pleasing!!!

[@williamcatchpole57]

I wish you have a long clip of you chopping wood. Like an hour. Something I come go to sleep with. Sounds soothing. Especially if I'm not doing it.😅

[@eatwhatukiii2532]

That WOULD be nice! 😴

[@Lifeistooshort67]

​@@eatwhatukiii2532Don't you mean WOOD be nice.😊

[@charlesbennett6242]

So much wisdom from this here youngin. And way more energy too plus fun to watch! 😊

[@rebeccamd7903]

I just wanted to say I’m so glad I found you today. I haven’t seen a woman chopping this much wood since my great great aunt. Who subsequently died of a heat stroke chopping wood at 98 years old. May you live a long happy Lesbian Lumberjack life like my gg aunt and stay hydrated my new friend!! 😉❤

[@chaswarren7239]

That was great to watch. I have chopped wood for over 50 years, but that was a great tutorial. I guess you mostly split conifers. Here it tends to be more deciduous & I find deciduous easiest to chop when just felled. I also find different woods & different sizes of log like to be split by different axes, so experiment. If one type sticks, but doesn't split, try something different.

[@RReese08]

That outline you made of the knot in the wood looks pleasingly familiar. 😉 And they can be a challenge too. BTW, if you haven’t thought of this already, have you thought about a Kickstarter campaign for a line of Nicole Coenen signature axes? Just an idea.

[@gllrycruz]

I spent the day watching your videos and I can go on forever. You’re amazing keep up the good work bestie!!! ❤❤❤

[@aristoteles5215]

Dear Nicole, If you are anything like the person you show in the videos, then I think you are a sincere and true human being. Be true to yourself, and never doubt yourself because of what others might say about you! I hope you will find your way through life and be truly happy about it. Whenever i see one of your videos, you bring a smile to my face, thank you!

[@bryancohn9406]

The theory behind chopping wood is more complex and interesting than I ever thought possible. I knew different axes heads were for different purposes but have never known the "why" behind them. Always fun, always interesting, another great video Nicole!

[@christiankeul9892]

Size don't always correlate with the level of difficulty. Nice one ! Important lesson for life. Love you. Chris

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

....Plainly said is "Size doesn't matter .." She can handle them all ..

[@christiankeul9892]

@@rockytopwrangler2069 WE/YOU can handle them all 😁. Nothing is that big that you can't handle it with a little help of friends.

[@Ravenandthehorses]

Thanks for this woodlecture! This is very helpful!! Sometimes it feels like I am hitting logs forever! ❤

[@NicoleCoenen]

Glad it was helpful! 🙂

[@reflectivelife]

I tuned in for some fun chopping but honestly, I learned a lot from this interesting tutorial on handling knots in wood chopping. Thank you for the explanation! Love your videos!!

[@Bigzthelove]

Easily the best wood chopping video on KZbin. First video I have seen with a realistic look into what it is like chopping wood. Thank you! And you did a great job explaining everything. I wish I saw this video before or when I was starting my wood chopping journey. Excellent content to someone just learning. It would be cool to see a video on selecting trees to fell for firewood or cutting logs into rounds.

[@Bellend361]

Love the echoes around the forest ❤❤

[@turnermorgan1176]

I am amazed that you consistently hit where you aim with that axe!

[@KimMcIntyre-ou1ew]

Hey Nicole 🌻🍃Thanks for the Lesson 🌈🌴☀️🌺🌊✌️💚😎

[@chrisjones9525]

Great video. A few decades ago, I had to split wood too. I learned by doing. This is a great summary. Thanks!

[@Huntongardening]

As a beginner wood chopper, this is so helpful! Thanks for the education.

[@bobbolieu9013]

Great, practical advice. Simple and straightforward.

[@jimsvideos7201]

If you're new to this though, take it slow. Nicole is skilled, strong and in practice; trying to match her pace as a rookie is asking for trouble.

[@thotusmaximus971]

I can attest to this, lost my cool at a log and went nuts hacking at it, then I missed, smacked the handle into the log with all might and my right hands was not only bleeding quite a bit, but my whole palm is in pain at any sort of pressure :/ Take it easy, do some exercise, and build that practice, slowly.

[@eatwhatukiii2532]

Thanks for being so inspiring, not just for those of us who need to split wood, but also for those of us trying to get in shape! Many of us aspire to develop arms like yours!!! ❤💪❤💪❤💪❤

[@darrendomke5228]

It is nice to start with a smaller one to get ya used to the bigger ones!!! Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!

[@freddygray8058]

I love watching this young lady. She is a treat.

[@RoxnDox]

I love how precise your 'shot placement' is. You lay it right in the exact line with every other hit, almost always. Very impressive and shows how much practice you've had! (and of course you look great as always ❤‍🔥)

[@padders1068]

Nicole! Great video, thanks for sharing! No one is going to mess with you with your axe collection and axe skills🤭🙂😎❤

[@schwabra]

I just want you to know that I have learned so much from you already. Thank you.

[@erikbarkefors2441]

I like your videos and the twinkle in your eye. Now I live in an apartment without anywhere to fire but have chopped wood before. When I had thick logs to split, I started along the edges and did not try to split the piece in half. Then I work my way inward little by little.

[@DJ-nx6in]

Hardworking strong woman! 👏👏

[@BradRitonya]

Very well done! I will be sharing this video on Facebook and my channel! Great work as always!

Very useful! I'm in the middle of chopping up two very large pines with some big knots.

i've started a game of "guess where Nicole is aiming" with each round. I think i'm at about 70% accuracy after a week or two.

[@jimmd68]

I think we all just got schooled! In the nicest way possible.

[@jewelhome1]

Chopping firewood used to be great catharsis for me, until i got a load of green-as-the-grass 18" birch. My poor maul just bounced off it. So wood splitter time! Chopping for two homes and a ski club, never felt guilty about it. Enjoy the work, using your muscles, and the accomplishment of a hard days labor that will see you through the winter.
