I still split most all of my wood by hand.8lb maul with a hickory handle.I like traditional things even though I do use a chainsaw instead of a crosscut.
With some arthritis or whatever starting in my shoulders,I'm wondering about the composite handled maul or axes such as Fiskars or Husqvarna.For those who use them,do you notice any difference in the shock transferred to you?.My only experience with these was trying someone's Fiskars Super Splitting axe on some downed sugar maple limbs he had cut up.Maybe it was me but I wasn't impressed with the splitting ability.I read a lot from people who really like them and the Isocore so they must have had a better try out.Our wood is mostly oak with a little hickory and black locust.
