Well the axe showed up today. I was excited as it came in a 48" lightbulb box.. And I was needing some new bulbs for the garage,..Oh well it is just the leveraxe.Thanks Larry
Now what should I do with it? Send it back to the owner from Finland? Or send it to the next guy that promises not to Bogart it and pass it along in a timely fashion?

I'm wondering if you shouldn't return it to the owner?.. After the first debacle and all. Just my 2¢

what is the cost of the axe?

The cost of the axe is somewhere around 275-300 USD.
I was really hoping the owner of the axe would step in on this thread and offer up his suggestion.
It will not split elm it was never designed for splitting tight stringy wood.My son and a couple of my buddies were playing with it a few evenings ago.My son actually got the hang of it and was able to work his way around a nice 14-16" piece of ash. You just can not get greedy with your splits. Have to take smaller bites and work your way in.

Hi.
I just found these writings.
Check my websites, there are many videos where I split the ELM. NO PROBLEMS.
You only need some knowledge of the structure of the wood.:confused:
Best regards

It might be ok for splitting kindling, looks like they like to split there wood over there in real small pieces. I think its time to send it back. It might be a novelty tool, but the price is way out of line.

If the ol girl makes it in the neighborhood of WY I would like to have a whack at/with it. I split a ton of pine and it might just be the cats backside for that.:cheers:
