Claim 0:
1. A wedge holder system for splitting a log using at least one metal wedge member, the wedge holder system comprising:
a compressible, substantially cuboid, polymer foam block member with a substantially concave top surface forming a basin with raised left and right longitudinal sides, the longitudinal sides substantially paralleling a center axis substantially equidistant from the longitudinal sides, the top surface adapted to longitudinally rest on and conform to a rounded side of a log;
a substantially planar bottom surface of the polymer foam block member adapted to rest on a horizontally disposed, substantially planar, log cross section; and
at least one slot portion disposed axially centered and substantially parallel to the longitudinal sides, the at least one slot portion further disposed through the foam block from the top surface to a bottom surface and adapted to hold an at least one first wedge member substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, the slot portion further adapted to stretch without tearing to at least the maximum width of the at least one first wedge member.
