Splitting firewood: hardwood like cherry, ash, birch, apple.

I'm splitting a selection of hardwood timber, which is easy to work with. For that reason I am using an axe most of the time. The maul had to be used on some occasions on the tougher stuff.

This man reminds me of my grandfather. He knew a lot & had much experience in life & was one really tough guy. They dont make them like that anymore, is i believe the expression. I think i heard the lady say dad? Well if i may say, u have yourself a wonderful father. Nice wood pile there also. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work blasting through knot on your first swing of the maul.

Tim: Good observation! The householders do have a stove and also an open fireplace, which is fairly small. They like to make use of it. With that in mind, the cuts were made accordingly. During the work, I also did some experimenting with different ways of splitting.
I enjoy your channel. You're making a few dollars doing some honest, physically demanding work. There are lots of people that can't say that.

Your videos are all so relaxing to watch! Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks. Now that you said it, the work can also be relaxing, even though it can be demanding at times.
