Yes... a pic please. In my minds eye, if the frame holds the wood, what stops the wood from getting fetched up in the frame when split? Also, is the frame adjustable? Not all trees come made to measure. Which leads to another question... yeah, a pic would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 42", 6 1/2 pound splitting axe. When the frost is on, ain't nuthin I can't split. Even gnarley old beech or large silver birch with thick bark (2 foot butt).
Hhehehe. Minds me of the two Newfs off to Toronto and ran outta money in New Brunswick. Stopped into a farm house and asked for work. Old lady pointed to the woodpile. Newfs went at it and, while she was gettin ready for her bridge club, she seen Garge jumpin all around and doin all kinds a warmup exercisin. She went right out and asked buddy if his pal could put on a demonstration of such calistenics for her bridge club. Buddy answers, "Maid, ye kin ask Garge, but I don't know if he kin take another crack in the nuts with the axe like that."
(I changed it from "splinter" to axe as many people these days don't know the term.)
