I don't know about you, but, I'm a 40 year old man with a gut. I swung an
ax into those wet oak logs. The ax stuck. Took me fifteen minutes to get
it out.

You have 2 problems:

1. Unsplit logs
2. A gut

The ax or the wedges can solve both problems.

A gas powered log splitter will only solve the first problem.

I'm 65.
You get the ax embedded in the log and then repeatedly smash the
log onto whatever surface you are cutting on. *Wear gloves.

One tree that size isn't going to make much of a dent on a gut
though. I'm 77 and out there almost daily doing something at my
woodpile. Been at it over 30 years and my gut is still there. Of
course my problem is not "lack of exersize" but too many brews.
