These are the implements of log destruction at the old Rabalais home.
From left to right in the bottom pic: a 16 lb wedge maul, two 8 lb splitting mauls, a double-bit chopping axe, a Fiskars hand axe (hatchet). Then on the floor in front: a machette, an axe blade hone (sharpener), and a 4 lb hand sledge for pushing a wedge.
It all amounts to a lot of split firewood for us to burn (keeps the run time down on the heating system) and some really sore upper backs and shoulders. You'd be amazed at how a small boy can swing a maul when he has been practicing, though.

Hey, when you are out splitting wood and you wind up with a headache, would that be a "splitting headache"?
It makes me bark at the kids. I don't beat them to a pulp though. I just don't like them axing me so many questions.
