Thanks for the tips. So many things can only be learned through experience. Like the wood closing up on your hand, I never thought of that happening.

Thank you John. Just bought an axe and I'm trying to learn about the safety aspects & techniques for splitting logs. This helped a lot.

Good stuff cutting some firewood and didnt think all this through. But after seeing this video I see that you are an expert. Really helpful.

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Brilliant and love the story about having your hand stuck in the log 👍

IMHO all those Swedish type axes are kept way too sharp and are way to short to use as a splitting tool for any real amount of wood. They're more a glorified hatchet. Great vid , well shot.

An extremely safe technique. Keep your hands as far as possible from the cutting edge and be mindful of the swing arc.
