What is the name of the wood splitter that Roy
Underhill uses? It has a handle on one end, a blade
that's about 15 inches long, and a place on the other
end to strike with a mallet? I'd like to get one, but
I don't know what it's called, where to buy it, or if
if they are still able to be purchased.
Thanks,
S.

Thanks. I bought one from Lehman's. I've been cutting wood on my
place, and when I split oak for firewood and see that beautiful
grain, I know I need to use some of it to make stuff.

An expression I learned from my dad is "dull as a froe".
