Put a heavy bungee cord (the rubber type) around the log a bit above the bottom, then the pieces don't go flying.

Even better, use an old tire.

I like to set the tire on a large round, place a few smaller pieces inside the tire (so they don’t go flying out) and then chop them all before clearing and refilling. Also works with a single medium piece inside the tire. Large pieces you can quarter first, I don’t have much trouble there with pieces flying around.
