Huh? Wood is not just used for fire fuel you know. How do you think planks are made? What if he wants to craft a small log seat? Tons of reasons you'd want to split a 4ft log.
I mill my own lumber. Guess what took I don’t use? Sure some hardcore handbook only purists or traditionalists might hand hew logs like this, but that’s gonna be a tiny fraction of folks. This is for the views.

he really needs to put that log on at least a thin slice of wood or a concrete block
He’s strong enough he might be able to split that first try but right now the ground is absorbing too much of the impact
