He prefers to use the ax because it's much faster than using a saw,
and you don't lose any wood making sawdust, which is a mess. When I
was a kid we always heated our house with a wood stove, and I spent
many chilly Autumn afternoons splitting wood. Assuming your ax is
sharp, and the wood is not too hard, it's not actually all that
difficult, and great exercise to boot. We always used what we called
a "maul," which was basically a two-pound hammer fashioned into an
ax. The extra weight made it easier to split the wood in one stroke.
Unfortunately, even though our house has two fireplaces, my wife and
I are both allergic to wood smoke!
BTW, Carlos, the quality of these scans is much higher than some of
your older web photos. Watch out for the black and white points,
though. In the photo of Norita in the hammock, her hair comes across
as solid black. Look at the negative and see if there is any detail
in the hair.
Best regards,
Aaron
