Pretty nifty but I don't mind splitting mine with a hatchet while the fire gets going. i can work out any aggressions and secondly I've gotten quite good at it. I can turn a 2x4 into slivers faster than Martha slices a cucumber.

Bldinsp, I have seen those before and have been tempted to buy one.

KelVarnsen, that would work to, but I would prefer to have something over it to keep someone from falling on it. At least when it was not in use.

Can you survive an insider trading scandal and pop up back on television slicing cucumbers- or 2x4s?

I assume you were talking about Martha Stewart and not a family member- if I was wrong, no offense intended....

Kelvarnsen- that's one stump I wouldn't want to sit on. Cover it with a coffee can or something- I'm still cringing just thinking about it.

Good idea though
