What is a "splitting maul"?
A splitting maul is a large, heavy axe designed specifically for splitting wood along its grain. It has a broad, wedge-shaped head with a heavy, sharp blade on one side and a flat or slightly rounded surface on the other. The head is attached to a long wooden or fiberglass handle, which provides leverage to deliver powerful strikes. The maul is used to split logs into smaller pieces, making it ideal for preparing firewood. Its weight and shape allow it to generate enough force to split even large or tough logs with fewer swings.
Example
He used the splitting maul to break the logs into smaller pieces for the firewood pile.
After hours of work, the splitting maul was covered in wood chips and sawdust.
