Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB I forgot to ask are you bending your knees a little on the down strokes?

I do automatically. Forgot about it until I watch a YouTube video.

I explained the right and wrong way to swing an axe in my book, but a video demonstration is worth a thousand words. For more information or to order Mike's book, please visit us at: https://bushcraftnorthwest.com #axe #woodsplitting

All this talk about splitting wood, I feel like buying a load and getting a nice axe to just cut it up for fun. I won’t though. Don’t have a fire

Re: Tabaluga's

😆 @Oaktree axing it is so satisfying. I’d cut wood 6 hours a day if someone would let me 🤣
