Once in a while I'll get ambitious and take a few swings with the maul. I prefer the splitter though. I should have taken Forestry when I was at ISU, but at the time I saw it and thought it was dumb.My project for the day:

We have had this axe head floating around forever and we were using it as a wedge when we split wood. I ground the back of it back into shape after it had been mushroomed out from the sledge hammer and re-hung it on a new handle. Sharpened it up and it's as good as new. It was nice to get back to basics for a day. You don't need Calc 3 to hang an axe head and split firewood. I've always said if this Civil Engineering thing doesn't work out I'd be perfectly happy living in a cabin in the woods by myself.
