I got a full tree of Hackberry last fall after Ike went through Kentucky. I started splitting it while it was green, and it was a real PITA. It is extremely stringy and doesn't want to split. The maul just sinks into the rounds without really busting it up.
I tried splitting some today and it still sticks together with a lots of strings.
You guys have any tips or special gear for splitting wood like this? I am trying to avoid renting a hydraulic splitter.
