Tired of sitting around thehouse so traipsed out to the woodpile. I have acouple cords of willow to be split/stacked. Stuff splits like a dreame with just a wedge/sledge to bust the big ones in half and one swing with Mr. Fiskars to chop up the chunks. Not today! Weather has been cold, as in highs in the teens, lows near zero (last night it was 4 below). I expected the stuff to split even easier but it didn't in fact it just laughted at the fiskars. It took one hit with the maul, then hold the maul in left hand while banging on it at least 3 times with the 10lb sledge in the right hand.
In the past any frozen wood split easy after freezing. I wonder if the high moisture content of green willow is the cuase, like banging on a block of solid ice.
Definitely got my BP and heart rate up!!
