An improved axe maul apparatus that uses minimum resistance penetration points to initiate the primary split of the block of wood which allows for less sticking once the axe maul enters the block of wood. A series of rounded ribs provide an area of less resistance as the axe edge enters the block of wood and then the flaring wedge forces the split edge of the blocked wood to be rapidly exploded apart. The areas between the rounded ribs are carved out to further minimize the resistance encountered by the apparatus.
