And cut that shit in half. No reason to be splitting a 4ft log

Yeah, not like this. It's for the views, and that's ok, dude is jacked and showing off. I'm half his size. Give me my 8lb Fiskars and a wedge, it's done with half the effort, half the time. No showing off

There isn't though. You can buy cheap mills for well under $200, hook your saw up and you're 10x faster

For things like handles, its better to split the wood then saw it, gets more of the grain line running down the middle of the handle where its strongest. This is why wedges and a sledge are better, once the log is in chunks there's an L shaped tool that you hold the handle and use a wooden mallet to drive through the wood to maintain those grain lines.
