Greetings. I'm just a small business owner in Thailand. I have always been fascinated with wood work; chainsaw, felling tree, splitting wood and all that. One day I just feel 'Hey why not just buy a splitting axe from Amazon and just find some wood to chop even if nobody in your area ever spilt wood by hand? It will be fun and good way to exercise.' A month later and Fiskars x25 arrived in mail (paid an arm for the custom...) and a few week of spitting wood just for the sake of it and here I am. Looking forward to learn from the masters.

PS: Sorry if my English is a bit weird at time.

Welcome! And your English is much better than what I hear in our local Walmart store. ;-)

You got it right! People here don't really use firewood in their home, rugged cooking or BBQ are done with charcoal. My business use wood as fuel for our furnance. We are in the area with plenty of rubber tree plantations and rubber wood is relatively cheap, so we use it instead of gas burner.
