What is on todays to do list.
Kindling, the small pieces of wood that form the basis of any fire.
It is strangely one of my favourite tasks, it is slightly Zen like, very peaceful, no distractions, with a bit of focus.
You need a bit of focus to avoid fingers and to aim your chopping axe.
It begins with wood selection, personally i do like Ash, it is quick to burn and less knotty than other hard woods. Soft wood is good but has the potential of 'spitting' due to the oils in them.
Once around a dozen split chunks have been selected it is into the wood shed and a quick sharpen of my Fiskar x10 axe using an axe sharpening 'puck'. Then it is down to work, but first put on thick leather gloves, you will accidently nick yourself and with an axe it can be quite a big nick.
I sit on one small log and use a larger chunk as my splitting block.
I have, over the years, tried to figure out the most efficient way to split logs, I have come to the conclusion that you just need to chop
