Picked this up today at Northern Tools. Some teenage girl in New Zealand invented it. The top opening is large enough to accept a 9-inch diameter log, so it's really not just for kindling.

It looks like an umbrella stand. How does it work?
Looked pretty cool looked at it when I was there today as well. At the one on sandy ridge tbey had two diffrent size ones.
I just logged on to Northern's website. The one I bought today is the larger splitter.
I'm still desperately holding onto the final remnants of my manliness. But I can see one of those in my future.
It looked tempting and neat but decided It wouldn’t get much use at my house since I usually just pick up scraps from woodsplitter and throw in a tote to dry for same purpose so decided to leave it for time being.

My money is on the 2 in black.
Best security system in existence.
I didnt say i was on foot! Although I have been many times but I do not turn my back and have learned to climb real fast as well when they call your bluff. The big one is the most calm and easiest to handle of the 6 we have and will eat out of your hand but still do not trust him.
My bride and I were discussing that thing the other day I said if you mount it to something sturdy, set up a post behind it, add a long pole to act as a leaver to push the wood through you might have something.
For now I'd just as soon keep using my maul.
These are similar to what you described but a little diffrent. I had seen this a while back just watch your fingers.
These are all cool but its always straight grain easy splitting wood .
Splitting sweet gum requires industrial grade equipment. Like an excavator scoop and a pile hammer.
