First of all, you need to equip a sharp axe from your inventory before you can start splitting logs. To do this, open up your inventory and select the axe from your list of items.
Next, place the log horizontally on the ground. Make sure it's secure, as you don't want it to roll away while you're trying to split it.
Now you're ready to start splitting the log. Look at the log and press the 'E' key to swing the axe and split it in two. It should be relatively easy to do this, as long as you have the right axe and a steady hand.
Once you've split the log in two, you can use it for crafting a variety of structures, such as doors, ladders, and more. Additionally, splitting logs is also great for creating fuel for fires or for artisanal craftwork. There's an unlimited supply of wood in the forest, so you'll never run out of logs to split in Sons of the Forest.
