An older man wearing a camouflage jacket, black pants, and green rubber boots is splitting wood outdoors. He is using a machine, likely a homemade hydraulic wood splitter, which is painted black with a green table surface. He places a birch log on the table, engages the machine, and the log is split. The split wood falls into a collection box underneath. To the right of the machine is a large pile of split birch firewood. In the background, there is a grassy field with a line of birch trees, and a partially cloudy sky. The ground around the wood splitter is covered in wood chips and debris.
