Buckin’ Billy Ray’s Wood Bullet - hoffmanblacksmithing.com/products/wood-bullet-preorder
Today we put Buckin’ Billy Ray’s famous Wood Bullet to the test against the worst Douglas fir rounds on the homestead — the pieces that completely defeated my old splitting maul and had been sitting in the pile mocking me for months.
These gnarly rounds are packed with knots, twisted grain, and everything that makes hand splitting miserable. I honestly didn’t think they would split without wedges or a hydraulic splitter.
In this video:
– testing the Wood Bullet on impossible rounds
– the “flip method” Buckin’ Billy Ray teaches
– efficient wood splitting techniques
– thoughts on simplicity, tools, and craftsmanship
– firewood moisture content explained
– woodshed updates and homestead projects
Huge thanks to Buckin’ Billy Ray and Liam Hoffman for keeping traditional toolmaking and hand-splitting culture alive.
