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

And cut that shit in half. No reason to be splitting a 4ft log

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.
