 I have just learned how to split a small round of wood. My son in law cuts down the dead tree's and cuts it into rounds I call them. He has showed my three grand daughters and me how to split it with the axe. It takes practice and patience on his part which he has. It is never to late to learn about splitting the wood for the wood stove and how to stack it and which tree's are dead. I'm retired now and we just moved a year ago to a small three acre home stead, we have to learn to be self sufficient, we have already put in eight raised beds and three compost piles and a bigger garden area in the Forrest. He is going to cut down three more tree's so the sun can get to our garden area in the woods the dirt there is really excellent. We had a good garden and hope for a bigger one next year. So as I learned even though I have four teen age grand kids I'm never to old to learn some thing new, just thankful that my son in law is willing to teach us.         Ellen
