Select the striking point with care by placing the wedge axe's wedge-shaped point precisely where you want to split the block of wood. Begin splitting the block of wood from the edges – it's easier that way. - Lift the striking bar up. It slides up and down inside the tube extending upwards from the wedge-shaped point and the wedge blade remains constantly in place.
- Strike the striking bar down and it will cause the wedge point to embed itself in the wood. You can strike softly or hard – just as you like – and use repeated blows as necessary.
