That actualy really true. if your axe splits the wood and keeps going you could hit your leg or foot. why the negative props?

I thought it was one of those videos where the guy's bust'n out some skillz, then all goes wrong....axe through the thigh in this video's case. I was waiting for the axe to fall...so to speak.

I'm kind of disappointed.

Good job lumberjack dude now build jumps with that wood!

bobrocket (Nov 19, 2008 at 21:23)

Having made rung myself I must say that guy is a freaking animal with his axe which must be razor sharp.

That wood looks perfectly aged and prime for use as rung.
