"Energy Cycle"
One classic pedal powered machine is Rodale's "Energy Cycle" in "Pedal Power In Work, Leisure and Transportation"

Relevant chapter starts on pdf pg 67.

splitting wood
It's hard to beat the maul. See:
www.pssurvival.com/ps/Firewood/Splitting_Firewood_1981.pdf
There are hand powered versions:
http://www.harborfreight.com/10-ton-hydraulic-log-splitter-67090.html
Maybe you could modify it to use hands and feet a la NordicTrack
https://www.nordictrack.com/fitness/en/NordicTrack/Skiers/nordictrack-classic-pro-skier
(and get in shape for cross country skiing at the same time)
and foot powered hydraulic piston pumps:

You could attach two to get a "Stairmaster" hydraulic pump similar to treadle water pumps:
