Although I have a hydraulic splitter, I split most of my wood by hand as I need the exercise. Much better than paying membership in a club.
Anyhow the problem I have is that after so much gets done, the work area is beaten into powder dust. Any ideas for something to split on?
A chopping block is not an option as they are too high and there is work enough already without lifting 50 pound blocks onto one, usually repeatedly as they fall off on each split.
This year I tried using one of those door mats made from links of tires. No go as I can see it won't stand the abuse and also, hard to believe, but the mat has too much 'give'. That surprised me.
Now If I could find a good tight crotch of something like Locust and cut a 6 or 8" round then put an old tire on top...
