1 hour ago, spudulike said:I am getting a kick out of refurbing some old vintage English axes to make my own kindling for my own use. The history of the English tool manufacturing is interesting as most of it ended up as Spear and Jackson. It all started with my grandfathers Riley and Sons axe that is probably 100 years +.
I'd be interested to see some pictures of that, if you ever fancy posting some pictures up.
Good family tree. I think Bulldog subsumed a lot of the old smaller old manufacturers too.

Kindling VS wood wool firelighters

I use old pine floorboards for kindling, from when I replaced some flooring upstairs. It's bone dry so burns like stink, but also straight and tight grained so splits down lovely. When that runs out I'll probably resort to splitting down dry softwood logs.
