I have a large piece of driftwood that I bought in France donkeys years ago. Its nearly a metre tall, and it's about 25cm wide at the base. About 10-15cm thick too.
I don't want one huge piece, but I do want to break it up to use in other tanks.

What do you guys recommend? Axe? Smashing it over something? Its very tough. I am not going to cut it, as I don't want to have it looking "man-made" if you get me.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Kris
 
hammer and chisel. That way you can get in between the grains and create a natural split where you want.
 
I used a hammer and chisel to break wood down, and even a saw to cut to shapes required.
