This is a family forum, I cannot repeat what I have said, would have said, even if I first said it, and them said something else before I wanted to say what was really necessary to catch someone's attention. Even if I was talking to John Kerry
Basically I never cut anything on the ground when I am splitting wood. If I wanted to ding up my splitter I would ask the Team Sergeant to split .45 caliber slugs on it by firing at it with his pistol. The log that I am going to split is elevated usually on a large cut log firmly seated on the ground and cut square and flat so that the log to be split sits well balanced so I do not have to do a series of rotations trying to find the best splitting angle. Also I do not use an ax to split wood but a maul/wood spittler with a long handle. I do not want to dull the blade of my double bit using it to split wood.
And you thought I didn't read this forum
