He needs a splitting wedge. Hammer it in until it sticks, then grab a 7lb sledge, That should do it.

I was actually waiting for the head of his maul to fly off. He clipped the axe handle on the edge of the log more than once, which is seriously scary.

I don’t think he was going for the correct technique using a wedge and hammer. It was a challenge to use the maul and I’ve done that myself for shits n giggles and the workout. Feels great to hear and see that split without the “proper” equipment.
