more of a log splitter than a axe,, the proper tool for the job that is
they dont realy cut, they prize the wood apart along the grain

Veteran log splitter here. That's no axe... It's a wedge on a stick. Hit a log like that with an axe and spend 10 minutes trying to get it out again...

Agrees.
Round here we call that a mell or a maul.
I've always loved the way the wood just "explodes" ;)
But that guys technique just rocks and the use of that elastic is a winner.

Since we are on log splitting....
I find this incredibly mesmeric and uniquely satisfying.

Looks a bit fiddly to me
best way I've found to do it is screw an old tyre to the chopping block - it has the same effect but without fiddly little clips and stuff

hmmm...
I've got a stack of hard as nails, gnarly and twisted Eucalyptus logs that I've been trying to get thru for the past 2 years... I'd like to see this fucker try and make chopping them look easy...
