Happy to report I’ve processed my first tote of firewood into kindling using the new Fiskars X7 and I still have all my fingers.

The technique I used was to steady the wood on a chopping block with a chicken stick.

I highly recommend the highly rated Fiskars X7. $24 on Amazon- check out the reviews here

It’s a really nice hatchet. Works like a charm.

Here’s a video demonstrating the technique I used.
