Proper Wood Chopping Technique for Household Lumberjacks
by Home Fire Stove Staff on March 13, 2023|
|
 |
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the handle of the ax firmly with both hands.
|
|
Keep your back straight and bend your knees slightly to lower your body into a comfortable chopping position.
|
 |
 |
Raise the ax above your head and bring it down on the wood with a controlled and powerful motion, using your upper body strength to chop through the wood.
|
|
Avoid overreaching or leaning too far forward, as this can lead to injury or awkward, inefficient chopping.
|
 |
 |
Make sure the blade of the ax is sharp and properly maintained to ensure clean, efficient cuts.
