It is what it is.
Not much to say other than it is a very solid and heavy bit of tree truck ideal for a chopping block. I can certainly recommend Black Country Firewood.

Perfect wood chopping block
I have been searching for a wood chopping block for ages unsuccessfully but I found the perfect one on the Black Country Firewood website.
The block is a perfect size for me (13 inches in height, width and depth).It’s solid, quality wood which is perfect for chopping large logs for firewood or just kindling and it will last ages especially as I store it undercover when not being used.
The customer service was friendly and efficient with the block arriving within days of ordering.
I was also very impressed with the price. It was £29.95 which included shipping. Well worth paying for a quality product.

Great chopping block
Have waited for a while before reviewing this to see how we got on. I think it’s great. It looks really nice in the garden as just a natural piece of tree trunk which I think is a bonus with it being sturdy weighty and a great base on which to split fire wood

Need To Know
A few common questions to help you choose your firewood.
How soon do you deliver?
We are normally only a couple of working days away and will give you a 1 hour timed delivery slot, sometimes we can even deliver the same day! For example we will arrange to be with you on Wednesday between 9-10am.
Can you deliver multiple items at the same time?
Yes, we can deliver a log store and the logs at the same time. We can also deliver up to 6 bulk bags or 3 loose loads with one truck, and can use up to 4 trucks if required.
How is delivery arranged?
Once the order is received from the website we will text or phone with our soonest availability, if that time/day is not suitable we will arrange a mutually suitable delivery slot. Or speak to us on the phone to book a slot.
What can I use as a chopping block for firewood?
A large, seasoned log is the best chopping block for firewood. Use a wide, level stump from oak or Scots pine to provide a stable base that absorbs impact and protects your axe.
Why do I need a chopping block for firewood?
A chopping block for firewood provides a stable surface for splitting logs safely. Using a dedicated block protects your axe blade from ground contact and ensures maximum striking force. Longer longs can also be placed across the block so they can be cut down with a saw and it will stop your saw blade blunting on the ground.
How high should a chopping block be for splitting wood?
A chopping block for splitting wood should be roughly knee-high, or 35cm to 50cm. This height allows for a safe, efficient axe swing while protecting your back during repetitive use. Having a block too high will cause instability and can be a danger.
Where should I place a chopping block for splitting wood?
Place your chopping block for splitting wood on firm, level ground. A solid surface prevents the block from shifting, ensuring safety and better energy transfer with every strike.
How do I stop my chopping block from splitting?
To prevent a chopping block from splitting, store it in a cool, shaded area. This slows the drying process, reducing the risk of deep cracks forming in the hardwood grain over time. Repeated dampening and drying of the log will cause splitting, so if you decide to keep the block inside it is best to keep to that choice rather than outside and inside storing or vice-versa.
