You can't really chop wood while sitting on a flimsy beer crate. You could split kindling or feed logs into a log splitter while seated, but you really need to be on your feet to chop wood.
You split kindling with any of a number of implements - a hatchet or an axe, usually. "Chopping" is, to me, a much more vigorous activity involving an axe.
