Hand Axe Instructional Video

[Kevin McGee]

Joe Flowers splits a big tree with a little axe

He doesn't show this in the vid, but I find that some kinds of wood like to fracture along the rings, so I'll use this to my advantage when splitting large rounds.

I have hackberry and bois d'arc around here. Can't use a hand axe for those but it was a good vid. Thanks for sharing!

I can't wait!!
