Video: Wood-splitting easy as cutting pie for this pro

OUTDOOR SKILLS — Time’s running out for getting this season’s firewood supply cut, split and stacked for winter use.

If you’re behind at this point, it’s good to have a pal with the skills of local outdoorsman Ed Cairns.

Check out this brief video showing how experience, a well-cured log and a sharp ax can make the chore of splitting an 80-foot larch as easy as cutting pie.

“My previous record was 23 (clean splits) in a row,” Cairns said. “Got the last 31 on this tree. I think I may need a little more cardio in my workout routine though.”
