"How do you get your own lumber?" - that frequent question determined me to make this video. Some time ago i was gifted with few maple logs (Acer platanoides) . I could go to the saw mill but spliting will give me more stable and "quartersplited" material. It is important in my planemaking and woodworking. Nothing fancy this time, just a little bit of hard work. You can take this video as "behind the scenes bonus". Have a nice day! BTW. I don't take orders and usually i don't sell my planes. The most sure way to get some of them is take a part in giveaways for my supporters.

@bradleyleben77853 years ago My wife loves to split wood. When the temperature gets down in the mid 20s degree f, the heat pump struggles. She swings the hammer, pops the wedges, and grins from ear to ear when the log pops. 25

@Ham682293 years ago Make yourself some wooden wedges, once you get the split started, come in from the sides instead of the ends. Will split a lot easier for you. The bigger . ...Expand 6

@imager87633 years ago That' s hard work, you should have started the video at the part where you are ripping the log apart with you bare hands! 2

@frankagee31573 years ago Many years ago i was splitting a log in cold weather, it was 13 degrees (f) and i hit the wedge with my sledge hammer and a piece of it chipped off and i love your videos and have marveled at how easy you make it look. Keep up the good work. ...Expand 2

@lancer22043 years ago Great technique! There are certainly times when a chainsaw with a ripping chain are a nice option though.
that is the type of log that would have adit: did anyone else see any irony is stavros having a loose head on the axe?. ...Expand 1

@dagwood13273 years ago Im lucky, i just go out into the woods and pick one that i want to saw on my bandsaw mill. Lots to choose from. I have access to walnut, white oak, v id="hidden8"arious red oaks, persimmon, juniper, pine, honey locust, black locust, hickory, sassafras, pecan, paulownia and birch. Most of the time something has fallen during a storm and i saw that up. Havent cut much this summer because of back issues. I hope to get that fixed soon. ...Expand 4

@guillermorougier51123 years ago I greatly admire all your work. One of those things i admire is your great name stamps. I suspect you made them. Would it be too much to ask if you id="hidden9" were to show us how to make a name stamp like yours? I love the classic look of raised letters. All the best!. ...Expand 2

@Samuqan3 years ago What did that poor axe ever do to you; let me know if you need me to send you a sledgehammer and some more wedges. I' m hooked on your plane videos - love your designs! 2

@fisharmor3 years ago You are literally the last person i would have expected to be driving wedges with the back of an axe. 4

@Lagrange003 years ago How long does it take for this size of stock to be fully dried, 3 years? Also isnt there the risk that insects will grow in the bark? 1

@monroe56173 years ago Hello stavros from indiana usa! Love all your videos man. Very inspiring. Im learning alot from you and a few other youtubers( dan the i cut a dead cherry tree down a few months ago. I tried keep it as whole as possible. The trunk is about 2 feet wide and about 6 foot tall. I used some old deck stain on ends but i see alot of cracking and splitting from the ends. Your video is right on time. Im gonna go find some of that liquid foil and split it like you did and re cut and seal the ends with the liq foil. Maybe it will help? How long will you let the log you split dry/season/ befor you use it to make anything out of it?. ...Expand 2

@antoniojsanchez86463 years ago Busque una buena maza con peso suficiente, ese hacha no le durara eternamente con esos golpes.
adems las cuas penetran mas fcilmente en la ma id="hidden14"dera con una maza de buen peso y con menor esfuerzo.
son muchos los troncos que tuve que partir con cuas, es un trabajo duro, y hasta peligroso si golpeas mal la cua y te salta una rebaba de metal la velocidad de una bala. Dos veces me paso, y dos veces dio en el hueso de mi pierna parndola tras atravesar el pantaln y la piel.
