Abstract
The wood splitting aid of the invention includes a resilient bucket that attaches at its bottom to a base block bucket of similar shape and size to be used in conjunction with a hand-splitter such as an ax or splitting-mall. The resilient or flexible upper bucket holds a plurality of split pieces of corded firewood in an upright position for hand chopping and absorbs both horizontal and vertical forces of wood splitting. The split wood pieces are maintained in a general upright position adjacent their neighboring pieces. The base block bucket provides both a safe and ergonomic chopping height which absorbs and distributes the predominantly remaining vertical force of wood-splitting action against solid ground. The buckets are detachably connected bottom to bottom and are nesting when disconnected for easy portability, use, storage and reuse in an urban environment.
