This is pretty amazing. I don't know if it's as original as they say it is, but... Splitting Cordwood

I saw this a few years ago, and I've been tempted to build one ever since.

Brilliant, That would work well for softer woods. When I lived in Idaho I preferred Locust and for that it requires hydraulics and a wide berth.

I split maple and the grain is curly. It gives the hydraulic splitters fits…I tried having a go at it by hand once…by noon on day one I had enough for a fire in the fireplace. Back to the magic of powered machinery.

Interesting..... not seen that before. The chopper is fast, with a keen eye and a steady hand.... the technique/device may be good for high btu quick fire wood -

So simple but yet I've never seen it before. Most of us just watch the wood scatter about the ground after a strike.

Splitting Axe, or more properly, a Maul.

Try one like this if you want to get serious about splitting hardwoods.

he has the maul and spitting axe...but I don't think he has one with a head like that...the maul he has is similar but still different.
