1. Use a maul or splitting wedges to split hardwood. A splitting maul is essentially a thicker, more wedge-shaped axe made for splitting hardwood along the grain, with a blunt sledge-hammer edge on the back of the splitting blade.
Carbon fibre is a material that is made from very thin fibres having carbon atoms. These are bonded together in microscopic crystals, aligned parallel to the long axis of the fibre. It is this crystal alignment that makes carbon fibre so strong. Carbon fibre is used to make composite materials with plastics resins.
Today carbon fiber is heralded for its strength, its rigidity and its ability to be cast in shapes that would be virtually impossible with other materials. Carbon fiber is now commonly used in high performance automobiles, and in the world of sporting goods with everything from skis to bicycles to golf clubs.f course the biggest use of carbon fiber is in the aerospace industry, and the new Dreamliner airplane is made of carbon fiber. This material allows for weight savings while still providing that strength and rigidity. Composite materials thus offer a multitude of benefits today.
