Do you guys have any tips on splitting with a Maul ? I do all my splitting by hand, and sometimes I think I may be able to improve on my methods. I use a solid piece of locust for aa chop block. I was wondering, should I have it on a solid base such as concrete to alleviate bounce/compression ? Another Q, about where should the piece that is being split (top) align with your body ? and another... do you guys grind the maul edge ? not super sharp of course, but maybe to take the burrs off ? Sometimes I feel as if I take too many whacks at a chunk of wood. Any helpful tips out there ?
