[QUOTE="KsWoodsMan, post: 1431013, member: 18630"] I use an axe on mine, no splitter and no handle in the maul. Stand alone trees do seem harder to split because of wind shake. Try to sink your maul in the biggest natural crack. Thats the weak spot and should be easiest to split there. Or like others have said, take slabs off the outside and relieve some of the coheision in the sapwood.. From there it should start getting easier. I'd take Hackberry over American Elm for splitting ANY day. I even like it better for heat. Worthwhile tree in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
