"beech wood splits so straight" – really? Not in my recent experience. Chesnut, yes. Green ash, yes. Beech wood? Not for me, esp. once it starts to dry :(.
Interesting video though.
bloody amazing that bodger is a hero of wood.
WONDERFUL WORK, THANKS YOU
A pleasure to see this skill alive & well. As a New Zealander with British roots, it is nice to see the stock so healthy.
This man is exceptionally good at being in front of a camera – like a fish in water. He could easily go pro
Alan Green their is far better ways to do that without using the wood chips
