From the hills of Tennessee. When I was a kid, my granddad sharecropped a 375 acre cattle farm. 100 acres of those was on a ridgeside. The grade was so steep the only way up was to go three miles down the valley and three miles back up to the back gate and the only vehicle that would pull that road was a tractor. We were up there one day. He was cutting I was splitting and loading, or trying to. He had cut an old growth oak and because of the grade it was a tall stump. We sat down to lunch and after he ate, he picked me up and sat me on that stump. I sat there eating my bologna and cheese, looking down at the scenery. Mr Wadsworth, I love your channel because you remind me so much of my papaw. He, too, was never one to sit still. So many things I learned from him just through his actions. He never was one to say much. My homelife was pure hell on Earth and the only place I felt safe, was when he and I were out having our adventures. We always worked but it never seemed like work to me, because I knew I was with the one man in my life, that truly loved me. I'm not much on such work these days. Not much of that goes on around here now But oh how I'd love to have one more time with just he and myself, up there on that ridgeside, making littleuns out of bigguns and knocking time off the clock dial.

I'm an 8 lb man, myself. Also prefer to go straight through knots. That said, I grew up in Polk County, OR. Timber and firewood was a constant occurrence, in my life from the late '70's-late '80's. In the early 2010's, I ran a firewood company for 3 years. Rediscovering my enjoyment of slinging a chainsaw (ran an early '70's Homelite and a Stiel 360, both with 24 in bars), and how good it felt to swing a splitting maul. I was blessed to gather my material in Detroit Ranger District, which ment Douglas Fir. Honestly some of the most beautiful wood to split. In 3 years time, my company grossed over $100k, heating over 200 homes. I miss the work, sometimes. Thank you, Mr Wadsworth, for this video.

God, this did my heart good. I see so many folks on KZbin- in a lot of cases, folks who are trying to educate other people- taking the most difficult paths, possible to split firewood. Hell, there was one guy I saw a couple weeks ago who spent a solid 5 minutes on a single piece just kind of fooling around with wedges. I'm 43 and grew up splitting the same way you do. I hated it when I was younger, but I absolutely love doing it when I get the chance now.

[@jpm1211]

That's so cool, unlike what you see on TV with the guy (very inefficiently) picking up one piece of wood at a time and swinging at it, now I've learned the REAL smart way to do it is set up a field of logs so you can get in a rhythm, walk around swinging, and get exponentially more work done, all without the constant bending/swinging alternate which would destroy a man's back. (Bonus points if you have a young guy like Nate to do the setups in between!)

[@fadetounforgiven]

Right on time. I was given a tractor trailer of eucalyptus logs and branches last week. I've cut all of the branches and some of the logs with the chainsaw. I have to finish that and then the splitting should begin. However, eucalyptus is a bit harder to split compared to ash, so when I cut them with the chainsaw they are about half or so as long as your logs seem to be. Also, they're not going to a chimney or so, they have to get into the fireplace and that also dictates its maximum possible length. By the way, I don't tend to try and split them in half unless their diameter is small enough, I'd rather go kind of around the border, as if I were peeling the log all around, not just taking the bark away but some of the wood with every hit of the axe (yep, that's what I have, that's what I use). Not my case this time, but I remember having to splitt logs that were nearly 1 meter (3 feet) wide, and trying to split them through the middle is quite hard, and if it's already dry, even harder. Thank you!

When I was a young warthog, my brother and I used to split 40 face cords a year to heat my grandparents' farmhouse. It was mostly sugar maple, with a little oak, elm and ash mixed in. One thing that really helps is cold! We would cut in February (dad on the saw, grandpa supervising) and split and pile right away so it would season over the summer. -20 C really helps them split!

I am in the UK and enjoy your content. My back is very compromised since fitting a 330kg boiler over 10 years ago. I wish I had lovely lumber like yours to split, ours is full of knocks. I use a 2 1/2 lb Elwell axe on a 36" Hickory handle the axe head is 1941 that I restored. I cannot swing a heavy axe or maul but the Elwell is like a laser due to its speed on the longer handle. As you said in another of your shows a 28" handle is dangerous. I am 58 and wish I could do what I could as a young man. But old eyes and lethal sharp tools need care as old knees and joints do not move as well.

thank you, i have said it before, and folks tend to look at me without understanding i guess, but one of the things dearest to my heart, something i truly love doing is popping wood on a cold winter day with still air. that is one of the finest moments a fella can have imho. another one, though it does not reach anywhere near those heights of satisfaction, is pruning on a long row of grapes. i really miss splitting wood these days. (i'm an old guy) last winter my wife told me of a friend whose daughter in law had run out of wood. it was wonderful, i just happened to have a good pile of well seasoned mostly cherry and some oak and blk walnut. all straight grain, i like to split a few every now and then as i go for a cooking fire these days. i was primed and ready and popped off a load and took it up. it was so satisfying, i hadn't really forgot how much i liked splitting wood, but i had forgot how absolutely satisfying i felt afterwards.
