    Did 2 tree clean ups last month and finally got a chance to split them last night. Wegde, maul and the small GFB splitter did the trick.

    Killed me to not stack it, but my son asked for some work, so I left it for him to do this weekend.

    This pile should finish my 2 year and start my 3 year stack.

    Nice pile, how about a pic of your hand tools? There is a dearth of wedge pics around here.

    Nice. It won't be long now before you are on the 3 year plan.

    Nice work. How do you like the small GB? I'm tall so a bit worried about swinging a short handle.

    I'm 5'10 and I love it for easy splitting. I have the large maul too and it's awesome. If you're taller than me i would be a little nervous about the small one
