Length of logs?

[Jamespepperpot]

We have different piles for different lengths of logs. Piles of 8-10inches and then 10 upwards. Also have seperate piles for Chestnut as some people with log burners like it. Obviously its nicer to sell larger logs because they are much less work but its best to cater for everyone. Atleast if you do both its less work for some of the logs.

Think I have seen that, it keeps the logs from falling away so you can split them quicker?

 

Yeah, there have been a few threads on it here. If you get a wide enough car tyre then the tyre acts as a spring which returns the axe after its split the log.

 

So you fill a tyre with as many logs as you can then go for it, once you get your eye in its very quick and very labour saving! Also its good on the body cause there is no sudden jaring of the axe sticking in the chopping block.
