ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for splitting logs comprises a base frame carrying a splitting wedge which has an upwardly facing blade edge, and which is associated with means for supporting a log with its lower end resting on the blade edge. A post projects upwardly from the base at a point spaced away from the wedge and carries pivot means for a beam. The beam has a hammer weight adjacent one end which is arranged to strike the upper end of the log supported on the wedge. Means are provided limiting downward movement of the beam to prevent the hammer weight from striking the wedge. The apparatus is operated manually by raising the hammer and letting this fall onto the top end of the log.
