There's so many restrictions on where you can and can't walk a Beaver though......Even if you paint your walking staff white, wear sun glasses and dress the Beaver in a yellow coat sooner or later someone is going to realise that you actually knew all along that it's not a Labrador.
If you are splitting small bits and your edge is blunt, then it can skid off rather than biting in. That's when accidents happen. A sharp edge with a convex behind it works well, that's what is on most billhooks.
Ah. OK. Thanks mrcharly. Carving in western red cedar, I commonly split what I need from much larger log pieces = log mallet and a custom-forged froe.
Now that you've explained this, I realize that my first strike on the froe must be an almighty one to set the dull edge into the wood.
