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.
For the rigid composite material made from carbon fiber used in aerospace and other applications, see Carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5â10 micrometres in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms.
