Traditional Wood Splitting Tools: Log, Wedge, and Mallet Setup #107538 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts a traditional log-splitting setup, featuring a freshly cut log with a metal wedge driven into its end, a wooden mallet resting nearby, and several wooden wedges scattered on the ground. A simple splitting tool-possibly a froe or cant hook-is clamped atop the log, suggesting preparation for cleaving wood along the grain. The illustration evokes historical or rural craftsmanship, emphasizing manual, non-mechanized techniques still valued in off-grid living and heritage woodworking.
