I've not seen this trick. Looks OK for dead easy to split wood, which is
the extreme minority of wood. I used the maul ONE YEAR. Then I built a
hydraulic wood splitter for the last thirty years. So, it wouldn't apply
here.

That's like crazy-easy wood to split. The closest I've ever come to that
is madrona, and I don't think it was that easy.

Splitting wood by hand is character-building, and used to be great fun
when I was a kid splitting wood for a little vacation cabin once in a
while. I think if I were heating a house with it I'd get a splitter, too.
