ABSTRACT:
A log holder for holding a log in a position to facilitate splitting of the log, the log holder having a plurality of diverging wall members joined to each other at the rear edges. The log holder is provided with means for supporting the wall members at an angle such that the junction of the rear edges slopes rearwardly from bottom to top. The log is placed between the diverging wall members and is held by gravity in a position inclined with respect to the vertical. Arms are provided to prevent the split pieces of the log from flying sideways. The restrained pieces are held in position for further splitting, or for pick-up with less stooping. Provision is also made for supporting a tool or tools on the log holder in a position for quick access where they do not interfere wtih the chopping action. The sheet metal members are secured to an angle iron which may be driven into the ground or in a modified form, secured to a supporting framework resting on the ground. A block of wood may be recessed in the ground beneath where the log rests so as to provide a chopping block which the axe hits when the wood is split.
