Can you describe the construction of the splitter, obviously, a heavy steel round but what's inside, is it basically just a bored hole with the lips on top to pound into the stump?

I have a couple thunder mugs, and it would be easy to weld on the flange to convert it.

Try looking-up 'Thunderbolt stump splitter'.

It didn't show any great detail, but the ones that are a tapered rod appear that they would be easier to drive in, especially if you drilled a starter hole.

I wonder if there would be any commercial interest?

I think my lathe can chuck 1.5" or so, thick that would be big enough to start with?
