How to Chop Big Rounds and Knots! 

Never thought I'd become so fascinated by chopping wood. But here I am, learning all sorts of new stuff.

Knotted pieces are such a blessing and a curse. Thanks for sharing! Love this video 🙌🏼🪵

That chopping sequence at the end is the only ASMR I've ever enjoyed.

Great idea using the white chalk! Really helps to see what you're talking about.

This is what I call reading the wood. I love splitting firewood with my old axe. Very good job 👍 You definitely know what you're doing.

I love listening to the environment behind her. So so calm and relaxing even when you get the sound from the axe hitting the wood.

It's very satisfying to watch you wood chopping.

Splitting is always a blessing. Ya get to work out issues and heat the house. It's a win, win, situation. Okay Doky!

Watching your videos have definitely influenced my style choices lately… I’ve been reaching for my beanies and flannels a lot more 😂 Soon I’ll be shopping for an axe for the imaginary wood I’ll split

Girl, you are a force of nature!

Thank you Sensei for your wisdom. I wouldn't have known how wood could work without your skillful teaching.

I wish you have a long clip of you chopping wood. Like an hour. Something I come go to sleep with. Sounds soothing. Especially if I'm not doing it.😅

Thanks for this woodlecture! This is very helpful!! Sometimes it feels like I am hitting logs forever! ❤

That was great to watch. I have chopped wood for over 50 years, but that was a great tutorial. I guess you mostly split conifers. Here it tends to be more deciduous & I find deciduous easiest to chop when just felled. I also find different woods & different sizes of log like to be split by different axes, so experiment. If one type sticks, but doesn't split, try something different.

This is the most educational video I've seen on the RU-vids in quite a while. Thanks Nicole!

Size don't always correlate with the level of difficulty. Nice one ! Important lesson for life. Love you. Chris

If you're new to this though, take it slow. Nicole is skilled, strong and in practice; trying to match her pace as a rookie is asking for trouble.

I am amazed (and envious) of your accuracy!

I love the new camera angle. It allows me to get closer to the wood which makes it more engaging ❤

Love the the added color overlays

I just wanted to say I’m so glad I found you today. I haven’t seen a woman chopping this much wood since my great great aunt. Who subsequently died of a heat stroke chopping wood at 98 years old. May you live a long happy Lesbian Lumberjack life like my gg aunt and stay hydrated my new friend!! 😉❤

That outline you made of the knot in the wood looks pleasingly familiar. 😉 And they can be a challenge too. BTW, if you haven’t thought of this already, have you thought about a Kickstarter campaign for a line of Nicole Coenen signature axes? Just an idea.

I spent the day watching your videos and I can go on forever. You’re amazing keep up the good work bestie!!! ❤❤❤

So much wisdom from this here youngin. And way more energy too plus fun to watch! 😊

The theory behind chopping wood is more complex and interesting than I ever thought possible. I knew different axes heads were for different purposes but have never known the "why" behind them. Always fun, always interesting, another great video Nicole!

Wood chopping is very healthy for body and soul - so I like very much to do that - and watching Nicole is absolutely fascinating and pleasing!!!

Dear Nicole, If you are anything like the person you show in the videos, then I think you are a sincere and true human being. Be true to yourself, and never doubt yourself because of what others might say about you! I hope you will find your way through life and be truly happy about it. Whenever i see one of your videos, you bring a smile to my face, thank you!

Awesome video will pass it along to the people in need of help ‼️‼️‼️

Beautiful demostration!

Love the echoes around the forest ❤❤

Great video. A few decades ago, I had to split wood too. I learned by doing. This is a great summary. Thanks!

Great, practical advice. Simple and straightforward.

I tuned in for some fun chopping but honestly, I learned a lot from this interesting tutorial on handling knots in wood chopping. Thank you for the explanation! Love your videos!!

I don’t even chopped wood, but I’m enjoying watching this 😅

Great tips!!❤

I am amazed that you consistently hit where you aim with that axe!

Thanks for being so inspiring, not just for those of us who need to split wood, but also for those of us trying to get in shape! Many of us aspire to develop arms like yours!!! ❤💪❤💪❤💪❤

Hey Nicole 🌻🍃Thanks for the Lesson 🌈🌴☀️🌺🌊✌️💚😎

Thank you for covering the oft overlooked outer chop!

I love how precise your 'shot placement' is. You lay it right in the exact line with every other hit, almost always. Very impressive and shows how much practice you've had! (and of course you look great as always ❤‍🔥)

It is nice to start with a smaller one to get ya used to the bigger ones!!! Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!

I love watching this young lady. She is a treat.

Okie dokie. Thanks for the lesson in wood chopping. Love your videos.

this video was lovely

Easily the best wood chopping video on RU-vid. First video I have seen with a realistic look into what it is like chopping wood. Thank you! And you did a great job explaining everything. I wish I saw this video before or when I was starting my wood chopping journey. Excellent content to someone just learning. It would be cool to see a video on selecting trees to fell for firewood or cutting logs into rounds.

Awesome video!!!

As a beginner wood chopper, this is so helpful! Thanks for the education.

Brava as always

Woooow! Great Job!

Love the echo. Love your aim 🪵

Very well done! I will be sharing this video on Facebook and my channel! Great work as always!

You are amazingly accurate with your swing

I just want you to know that I have learned so much from you already. Thank you.

I need to get into this again, it's gotta be a good workout.

Great work, I love this video. Have a blessed day ❤

That was amazing.

Congratulations on 1.1 million subscribers. 👍

Thank you!

Nicole! Great video, thanks for sharing! No one is going to mess with you with your axe collection and axe skills🤭🙂😎❤

Thanks for this video! It's very intresting.

Hi Nicole love watching you chop! Beautiful gal keep chopping

I love this girl!!!!

This occasional chopper thanks you!

"Lovely". Really informative stuff.

well i like your videography skills and the way u show us the nature around u 😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍

This is super informative. I really like that chaulk(?) and highlight touch. Actually, just the all-around visual aids are awesome.

This is a very informative video. As someone who has never chopped wood before, that's knot how I would've thought to do it.

This is good info. Now, if I could just find my flannel, I'll get started.

The efficiency is off the chain!

I thought I knew things of chopping up firewood. Turns out that I only know to swing the axe. Thank you for this. Very helpful.

The outdoors gives back Very green 👍

chooping woods are so good terapy..the wood warms more than one time

Nicole, I love to watch you chop wood. It is . . . lovely. If I ever find myself in a position to chop wood I hope I can remember some of your suggestions. Thank you.

I very much enjoy your channel. I kept the wood bos full for two stoves on the fram until going into service at 18, after high school. Take care, God Bless

Learn something new everyday ☺️

Gratulalok, nagyon űgyes,latszik hogy sokat dolgozik.

you are amazing

I think we all just got schooled! In the nicest way possible.

You chopped my heart 😁

I love echo of the splitting from the woods.

Nice!

very impressive👍

Lovely 👍

I remember those are things my Dad taught me when I was younger. Take care

I envy your arms and your accuracy. Beautiful to watch

Beautiful, thanks! Nicole Coenen, the “Canadian Machine”. 😊😊😊

Damn… you strong as hell girl! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Really good video there mate you showed some real skill. There is real growth in your axe wielding prowess compared to your early videos.

❤ Удачи Вам привет из Рогачёва Беларусь 😊

It's so oddly meditative.

I don't need help splitting, but I still like watching these videos

The scenery is always so beautiful ❤ Love watching your content, seeing your amazing smile, and reminding me every time just how gay I am 😂

I always thought that wood was split using a wedge and hammer. Learned something today.😊

You have some wood splitting skills young lady ❤❤❤❤❤

-Lovely😊! Both you and your skills! I really like your swing and accuracy! Nice workout😛.

I'm a big fan of outer chops. Center chops are fine if you've got the accuracy (which clearly you do). For center chops, I would also recommend starting on the outside and working inward rather than starting dead center.

Very nice video ❤ learned that as a boy 😊

Next time you are in your old stomping grounds, lemme know! My chopping skills are OK, but it’d be fun to be challenged and embarrassed! 😁

Вы потрясающая, очаровательная и так много всего умеете. Самый вдохновляющий контент за долгое время. Вы заставляете меня верить в то, что иметь жизнь которую действительно хочешь возможно.
