It is interesting to see cutting in which the tool and workpiece are of such similar material (advanced lignin-cellulose composite).
The axe seemed to do better than a mallet anyway. It stuck readily enough in the wet-looking end grain of the log.
- How did it behave cutting green softwood?
- Did you do anything to harden the cutting edge?
- What was the apex angle?
- What variety of wood did you use for the bit? (A predictable question, I know.)
- Did the edge blunt by squashing, fraying, abrasion, sogginess? Something else?
