Hi, guys. Haven't been here in sooooooo long. Nights are getting chilly, though...
Anyway, I saw a Fiskar splitting maul at Tractor Supply for around $50, and am wondering if I can make it do anything. I'm 70, with enough upper body strength to paddle my kayak for miles, but... Splitting wood?
My electric log splitter died (a guy is gonna take a look at it, but I'm not optimistic). I'm buying wood from a tree service at $125 a cord. Some splits are larger than I'd like, so occasionally I'll want to whack 'em.
My wonderful neighbors split some big chunks for me, and they'll do more if I ask them. I just don't want to keep bugging them to split for me or to lend me their splitter.
I have an old no-name maul that's not very sharp. I've tried splitting with it, and it just goes thunk on the wood.
Whatcha think?
Nancy
