Chopping wood

For the winter we have to prepare the firewood by chopping them into pieces and keeping them in a dry place. It’s not the first time that I’ve chopped wood, but the first time to do it for this long and this much. I’ve learned which way is the easiest to chop them and what to avoid. For example, we should avoid the area where the branches are. If the axe is stucked in the wood, it is better to rotate the wood so when we swing them the axe should arrive first. Like this, the force and the weight of the wood can help to split the wood into pieces.
