How this wood splitting aid came to be.

For as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed sitting beside a fire. In a perfect world you're sharing the glow and the warmth with friends and family. Add some good conversation, snacks, tunes, and maybe a beverage or two. It's a simple recipe for a really good time. 

Firewood IS the most important ingredient of that recipe. Of course you could buy a bundle of wood at gas station or a cord from your wood guy, but it's really gratifying to feed a fire with wood you've split yourself.

It's also an excellent way of heating your home. Anyone with a fireplace or wood burning stove can tell you it'll cut your heating costs considerably. 

I find splitting firewood enjoyable, therapeutic, and also a good form of exercise. 

However, after splitting log after log on my splitting stump, I realized that I spent a lot of time and energy gathering wood that fell away from me. And boy did my back notice it the next day. 

It was a "there's gotta be a better way" moment. That's where the idea for my wood splitting aid Splitback was born. Make this American made product a part of your wood splitting therapy, workout, and fire enjoyment.
