We started heating with a wood stove in 1975 when I was 11 years old , every single piece of wood that went into that stove was split by me , for over 25 years , even after I got married and moved out. Pops fell and cut the rounds , I split , my 2 Brothers hauled the wood to the truck. We worked our tails off , and let me tell you , I sure do miss those beautiful days out in the woods with my Dad and my Brothers. Those memories are priceless to me. Have a beautiful day my Brothers and Sisters , live YOUR dreams , make memories. Wishing the very best for you all and Buckin and the Buckin Family. Be Safe , Be Kind .

When I see buckin with a powersaw i already like the video

Good afternoon everyone and God bless with love Jay small

Stacking the split wood is therapeutic! I love that part.

good luck friend always

Good morning Buckin family happy Friday from Kyle here in Calgary Alberta

**PLEASE READ** Dear wood man, I am 27 years old and my fiancé and I got the keys to our new house on Christmas Day last year. We live in Southern California and moved from a suburb to the Alpine forest mountains. Our house is on propane. I’ve never owned a chainsaw and especially an axe before in my entire life. When I found out that our house has a beautiful vintage wood stove and it gets really cold up here in the mountains, I began interested in heating our home with wood. I stumbled across your video trying to learn how to warm my family using wood. It’s now the beginning of June and I have 2 cords of BLACK OAK. All of which I fell, bucked and split by myself. I’ve also got another cord of juniper seasoning as well. I now own two chainsaw and although they’re both stihl, one is from the 70’s 😉 I also now own 5 axes, one double bit I burned the handle hung it and oiled it with the WATCO. My family, my son and my grandson will now know how to swing an axe and warm our family with the beauty that is wood. They’ll have tools that I pass down as well suck as axes, oil squirters, hand files and chainsaws. If it wasn’t for you brother I would not have known a single thing about wood, let alone splitting knotty oak with an axe. Please, when you read this, understand that you have touched a young family man all the way in Southern California and our home will be warm forever because of Buckin Billy Ray. -be kind

Thank you for the video

wow crazy wood!... thanks 4 video. be kind.

Hi Wood Man!

I love it! You load a truck up just like I do! They are meant to haul things, that's their purpose in life, so let them do what they were meant to! Just wanted to shout out to everyone involved in tree work at any level! Climbers, fallers, firewood gatherers, tree planters, forestry workers, and even to backyard hobbyists who go at things at their own pace! Love to all! Take care everyone!

Always a good day when buckin uploads splitting videos

That thing is a ripper!

Sleeveless Splitting…

MYRTLE IS HOME!!!! YEAH MAN!!! WHAT A HAPPY DAY!😁💚🌳💚🌲✊

Thanks for the advice on how to spilt a big log it a lot easier than what I been doing

Oh my buddy. That Gorilla packs a punch. Those axes work and I mean work. Love the frogs. It's how I can tell spring is here where I live the whole valley lights up with them. The Ole Merc looks awesome and just kinda looked like she was ready to go to work and glad to be home. Love ya Buckin. Thank you.🌲❤🌲✊🪓

Always nice to see a new video buckin and it’s splitting wood too my favorite thing to watch on your channel other than you showing those power saws who’s boss 😂

that video that you made on this site was very inspirational for me this has helped my dedication to things

Great stuff here sir. Love it...👍👊💚🌳💚🌳

I love how you always call all of us your friends because I think of you as one as well billy because of how open and truthful you are and sharing all your knowledge and information and tips on the world of Trees and in life

Love your positivity! Really helping me try to be my best self. Constantly reminding myself to be more kind, like Buckin!

Good Friday morning brotha buckin!

thanks buckin. asked you about this issue a few days ago or so. and u made a video about it. awesome

Hey Billy!!!! So happy to see you! You are doing a wonderful job.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey buckin, thanks for the new way to cut large rounds. Just upgrades my saw situation. Went from a little ms250 I've used for 5 years. Bought a husky 562xp yesterday and can't wait to give it a go. That little stihl kept my family warm in the winter and in the savings from not buying wood for 5 years I've paid for my new saw 3 times over with the amount we burn. The upgrade is well deserved to save time and my back. Buy once, cry once. Cheers Buckin, be blessed.

This video is all about momentum ! Love the spin around behind the back getting it to the truck ! I've been trying to do what you do when I'm splitting, even though different wood your technique's still apply ! 👍👍👍

Reunited and it feels so good!🎶 Nice to see the Merc back! Put her on a shirt. Merc merch! She needs her own channel.

Love the new shirt. Mine showed up today. I may cut the sleeves off too. 👍👍

Inspirational Buckin. I’ll never let myself complain using my Countryline 32 ton splitter again.

I learn some tip every time I watch tour videos! Thanks for the valuable knowledge! You rock!

I love watching you do what you do, you remind me of my older brother who is gone now. He was a feller & topper & on weekends he would help me gather heater wood for my house. You bring back good memories of my brother. God bless and keep safe.

Workin through some 40in but cuts right now even had to break out the ol wedge n sledge

Another great video Buckin! I always stack firewood to haul from timber as well...I get way more hauled than if I just threw it in all haywire. Great idea with the back window as well, I've broken a few before 😆

Sending greetings from Spain! Lovely work you doin there Buckin! Keep it up. I’ll always be there to give my biggest thumbs up to your videos! Spread the love.

Good looking shirt there Buckin

When ya kept wearing your ear muffs and realized ya didn’t need em anymore. Lol I do that a lot.

I learned several important things in this video from the master. Thanks!

I usually watch your channel on my tv so it's impossible to comment..I've been enjoying your channel for months now! I find myself watching Yours/ Steve's Small engine/ outdoors with the Morgans and never regular tv..your so positive in your message and just a true genuine person I had to log on and comment..I lost my mom last year on mother's day and would always share videos with her..I wish I found your earlier to share with her..she'd love you ..I'm hoping someday you'll do a video with you and your mom playing together a song..I know your a saw channel but we all would enjoy it I'm sure

Very good video! Felt like I was there enjoying work in such a peaceful settin.every woodcutter knows that feelin. Everyone has a diff. Method. Fun to learn from others. Thank u for your fun and informative videos!!!

Buckin, your killing me with the leg kick thingy.....🤗

I LOVE the format of the first 3 minutes, very nice summarizing everything but still quickly got to the point, A+ and the shirt intro was funny too 🤘

You really impress me Buckin Billy Ray !!! you dont even break a sweat !!! true Lumberjack right there !! keep up the great videos!

Awesome Video Buckin!! I'm in this situation right now and this video helped me out a lot! Thank You Sir!!👍🏻 👍🏻

Buckin have you ever used a fiskars super splitter axe? Im curious to how that compares to your axes. Also you never seem to use any kind of maul? Is there any reason to why?

Love the firewood videos!

You are good Buckin, always enjoy your videos.

WOW! That's hero wood for splitting. I have mostly split hardwood. Maple beech ash. Occasionally have tied into easy stuff like poplar. Mandatory wedge and sledge for the big hardwoods. Also had wire wrapped the last 5-6 inches below the axe head to protect the handle and give a bit more weight. Handle lasted over 40 years for this amateur. Deadly good aim going on there.

Hey BBR! Any reason you don’t use a maul instead? Just curious. Can’t wait to see the Merc!

The percussion from the axe is badass! Buckin is a machine🦾

I use Turkey oak in my pizza oven here in Florida. Our wood is exactly how you describe it. It's some of my favorite wood from the tree. It has so much energy in it, burns so nice!

First time I see this technique for splitting knarly rounds. Definitely going to try it on the next big tree I take down ! Would it be faster to split the round in half and finish it with the axe ?

Had to get my daily dose of being kind!!!

Rippin' noodles from the big fir rounds....yummy Never knew why sometimes i had noodles and other times had fine dust, it all makes sense now in the world of wood physics. The Wood Man is physicist in the logical world of the Pacific Northwest. Glad my physics teacher knows how to cut a T-shirt 😊

Absolute Gold Billy ... re cutting with and against the grain ...you'd be amazed how many people don't know that ... builders etc ... make it easy for yourself. Yes sir on hard wood use some gas to save the hard yards on the axe.

You got a really good workout there mister and you you gave us some great information on splitting gnarly wood. You can sure swing an axe Buckin. There is no little taps here and there it is all out war with the axe. I love it.....love you brother!

The manliest miata video I've ever seen.

I love watching when you just chop wood with your axe🪓. Humble labour, as you put it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Buckin too. Relax,& have a great evening friend.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Beautiful load of wood and also noticed when you were splitting you can hear a echo in the woods greetings from Michigan

Good day buckin!! Wanted to ask you if your axe design the wood bullet will be available head only without the handle?? Keep up the good work Buckin!

Buckin, when you get the forge going you should make some of those hooks to sale. Love Brother.

Good morning buckin

I'm catching up on the videos. I was at 5 years ago videos the other day. This gives me such an urge to get out there and slap wood. That double edge axe is a beauty!

Hello friends. This is my second Buckin Bill video and I already have a profoundly deep and emotional attachment to him. Gotta love this, dude. Much love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I have some gnarly wood that I've been struggling to split up with a maul so will try your cutting method.

Love those old trucks. That body seems to have less rust on it than my '07 F250. They definitely don't make them as good as they used to. Thanks for putting another awesome video out.

Hey Billy, love your vids, but got some advice needed. We had a couple of trees chopped down and logged a few years ago, ash and maybe oak...? I then had to work away on tour with my band so these logs have been here for maybe 3yrs. I've tried splitting a couple and they are really hard! Any advice?!

Great advice in this video

You respect your tools👍I like that tip. Keep fuel in the line. Or else next time you go to start it ya can have one heck of a time getting her going. Especially on older saws. Next thing ya know yer rip cord is broke n yer sitting on your hands in the bush😏haha just ask me how I know❤️🌍🌎🌏❤️

I miss my old 1991 1 ton Cummins (single wheel). A load of green red oak rounded with side racks made it ride good but didn’t squat it. Looking forward to seeing the merc haul rounds again. And because it’s my dream saw I can’t freakin wait to see and here the Tinman hot rod homelite!!!!!! As always WORK SAFE Buckin and be kind everybody!!!!!!

Wow! I have had some 35" redoak been kicking my butt. I just tried this and split almost a truckload in an hr! Thanks!!

I got a tooth pulled and have been wanting to cut and split some wood but need to wait a couple more days, and yes those first few blocks on those big fir are the worst for splitting.

You made a few warms nights there. Impressed.

This video comes at a great time for me. I have a trunk of an old maple tree that I bucked and the pieces are about 4 .10 ft wide almost 5 ft each. I bucked it with a Husqvarna 395 XP with a 36" bar and full house chain. I hit so many nails also I hit a rock that the tree grew around it was 10 feet up in the wood just below a large Y - Fork of the branch. I was not sure how I was going to bust it up and split it. Now I see the proper way to do it. Thank you Awesome tip Buckin Billy Ray. Gotta get me some more tee shirts

All of those noodles could be bagged up and sold I’m sure. Gotta love a good buckin video. Love to you and the family❤️

Nice shirts! Truly Fitting! ❤️🪓💪🏻

Just found your channel the other day. Your personality is infectious man, I gotta say….in a world of today…full of negativity and people trying to divide everyone, your positivity and attitude is a breath of fresh air my brother. Not to mention, I am learning a lot from you. You are already one of my favorite content creators out there. God bless you brother and I am glad I stumbled onto your channel. But I am curious…how many times have you whacked yourself with an axe??

I just spent my weekend doing this, and Now I'm watching you do it xD I can't help myself now I'm running a sharp saw!

What ax is the best for splitting hard wood. I would love to get an effective ax for this purpose. I figure you would be the authority on this subject. Thanks

So if I’m seeing this correct. You get noodles by cutting radius cuts from bark to center vs cutting down the grain? Also what saw is that Buckin? Much love. Can’t wait to add a wood bullet to my collection. Tired of swing my maul and hammering a wedge into these big rounds to split em. Just picked myself up a 572xp Trying to treat is right breaking it in but I got a serious pile of 30”+ red and whit oak logs to get bucked and split. Got 8 or so tanks through it. Time to make some noodles!

style :) thanks for all the awesome videos and wisdom

Ahhh wood noodles canny beat them and the smell of Sap 2 stroke and gas and oil love it. Big love buckin from bonnie Scotland

Its awesome watching thos big rounds split open

Man you have a nice tune on that one! Sounds just right. Just a touch of overrev. She's running clean! I'm telling you .I'll send you some power plus Manhattan oil. You will feel a difference and your pistons and head will actually clean themselves from carbon usually. I did some rounds almost that big for fun and a workout with my helko. I heard it hunting for fuel!! Ok. From road course racing 2 strokes..you want your engine to idle. Important..so when your way up in the revs and you get out of the throttle it continues to deliver fuel +OIL. Idling is a bigger deal to 2 strokes than most people know. Not telling you Buckin just throwing it out there for anyone that doesn't know. From a guy that never burnt a motor down from his tune! Been all around the U.S. on most the well known race tracks.

Billy christine .Thank u very much .Go

Master, which one best axe on the market would you recommend as a gift for my good friend ? I mean splitting axe. Thanks.

🔥🌟🔥from🌲🇩🇪🌲‼️

Watching this on my marketplace- special surround sound is glorious for the saws but i keep pausing it to see if there's a car outside or in Billy's world. And yes, 23:47, that was pretty neat.

Shazammmmmmmm!! 😃

Good evening men and ladies. Good to see buckin sporting one of them new shirts. I have struck gold buckin. I was able to pick up an old model 47 McCulloch saw and an equally old pioneer. I am going to need some help getting them running but man i am just jumping up and down with excitement. Will try to send a pic of them. Just curious. Anyone know how many cc’s those saws have? Just curious. Have a great weekend and love yall. My nickname is the burlyman. God bless

My father-in-law calls those "night time burners" "all nighter logs".

That pre strike kick out though.......

What powersaw is that?

Such beautiful Doug Fir that you get out there in the Northwest. I’m so very jealous. We don’t get them in the east. Lotta beautiful deciduous trees though.

👍

Ahwoooo get one 👍 have a great weekend ❤️❤️❤️

We would get along just swell. My old f100 has an overload pack (she used to have a cab-over camper) and she's a super cab Longbed... Get some work done 💪 I also enjoy bucking with a nice axe. Seems we've got similar taste 👌

North east Ohio here out by killinger and all my hardwoods like maple and oak are always the hardest at the bottom. Even cherry locust walnut all of it is like that at the base. Once my axe starts bouncing I throw em in a pile and then grab the good ole hydraulic splitter lol

What a beautiful collection of axes you have. I know that this just a fraction of your collection lol keep on splittin!

I think this would’ve been a better job for the Eastonmade
