Splitting axe

[Retired Army]

I split the wood to heat our home from ages 13-18. 2 wedges, 8 lb sledge, double bladed and single bladed axes were my tools. I was a high school wrestler as well. Split hickory, sweet gum, oaks. Most of the hardwoods available in Ga. Hard work but I loved it and was strong at 132 lbs. He’ll probably learn to enjoy it. Good on ya dad!

I got a X27 5 years ago best splitter I've ever owned

Enjoyed meeting you yesterday Owen. Hope all goes well with the wood splitting venture. Maybe we can slide in a session at the forge soon.

Absolutely, much appreciated and very good to meet you.

I’ve read threads lately about ODT being not as good as it once was etc. I got to meet Carl, you would not go wrong having him as the definition of “good people”. He’s given some tools that’ll help pass on some skills to my son. ODT at its best.

Thanks again Carl.
