ABSTRACT:
An elongated cone like member having a pointed end and a relatively large blunt end with the intermediate portion flaring outwardly from the pointed end to the blunt end, and serrations formed in the member adjacent the pointed end. The pointed end of the member is plunged into the end of a short length log and the blunt end is struck by a driving maul. The serrations prevent the member from bouncing back out of the wood and the multi-directional flaring of the intermediate portion applies splitting pressure radially in a symmetrical pattern from the point as the member is driven into the wood to thereby split the log where it is weakest.
