This is a batonning block (splitting block) made from a log of a persimmon tree that has been naturally dried for over two years. Unlike commercially available splitting blocks, it has a considerable height (thickness) and is quite heavy. You probably won't be able to split it easily with an axe. It's especially recommended for those who do a lot of wood splitting. Persimmon wood is extremely hard and is a representative example of hard wood. It has been used as the material for golf club heads (persimmon) because of its durability and beautiful grain. Persimmon means "persimmon tree," and it was valued at the time as a hard and relatively durable material. Since it has already dried considerably, further cracking is unlikely. Unlike splitting blocks commonly sold, issues like cracking after arrival are less likely to occur. There are some cracks, but this is proof that the wood is well-dried. The strength is significantly higher compared to green wood. Due to its height, it can also be used as a side table or lantern stand. I think it will also be useful as a simple stool or footrest (ottoman). Please check the size comparison with a 500ml plastic bottle. The bark has been removed, and the surface has been torched to prevent insects. The handle is made of suede-like fabric. It's a material that doesn't get cold easily even in low-temperature environments. This is a handmade, one-of-a-kind item. Please understand that it will be sold out. It is level to some extent, but it is not perfectly level, so please adjust it yourself if you are concerned. Although further cracking is unlikely, it is natural wood, so cracking may progress depending on the storage location and how it is used. Although insect repellent treatment has been applied, it is a natural splitting block cut from a natural log, so insects may be present. Insects may also enter depending on the storage location. 【Size】 ・Diameter 220mm - 250mm ・Height approx. 200mm ・Weight approx. 5kg Free shipping nationwide Instant purchase with no comments is welcome.
