I decided to put something up at one end  to make things easier. Smile 

   

   

The other end looks a bit wonky Big Grin

That's a good idea Dave. Much less chance of it falling over on you.

Still kept on falling down so I used a wood support. Now it is a lot more stable, hasn't fell down (yet  Big Grin )

The white powder is to keep the 'wood eating termites' away they see it as a food larder.

Some wood I have just doesn't want to split. You can see where I have tried (and failed Slaphead )

   

It's African Yellow Wood - Our National Tree Chin  it is also protected. I didn't cut it down I was just offered the wood.

I am going to let it dry out further (weather and age a little) see if that will help.

What do you guys do if you can't split it ? 17428

Use it for an anvil?  17428 

Dave, if it is "protected" is there fine for possession? Here in the states, eagle feathers are protected. Pick one up off the ground and get caught with it - do not pass GO, but go directly to jail.  Smiley-signs131
