Chopping kindling on hard standing - axe protector?

Further to the tinkering with my log burner I think that although it will

My log store (builder's bag) is under cover on hard standing and I no
longer have a section of trunk as a chopping base.
I see that you can buy a length of trunk for £20-£40 on line but I would
prefer something more discreet, ad I am likely to be splitting small
chunks into kindling using a hand axe and club hammer.
In the longer term I could possibly ask my wood supplier if they could
include a chopping block in the next load but that might be next Winter.
A solid block of rubber about 12" x 12" x 2" would seem to fit the
requirement for a solid base, edge protection for the axe, and easy
stowing when not in use.
My search skills, as usual, aren't getting me the results that I want.
Any suggestions and lateral thinking most welcome.
I just use the hard standing and a bomb
