Split 1 Cord of Douglas Fir with A Fiskars

[farmerdoug]

How long does it take any of you to split a cord of Douglas Fir with a Fiskars? I don't have access to oak. I have access to:
Douglas Fir
Maple
Alder

All of which split pretty easy. I am thinking about timing myself on a video and posting it. That means I would have to split a cord in under 10 minutes. Maybe I will choose a half cord for my test.

Your thoughts welcome . . .

What is douglas fir?

We don't have that here so I don't know what my splitting time is. But I can say that I can split & stack Hedgeapple or Black locust at a VERY leisurely pace and get about 1/2 cord done per day.

Although I never really work through the whole day. Why work hard when I can spread it out and do other, less tedious tasks in the middle to break up the hard work?

!!! a cord in 10 min ???
it takes more than 10 min to load a cord of wood into a dumptruck with a bucket loader !!
it takes more than 10 min to stand a cord on end to get ready to split !
i couldnt even put a chalk mark on the pieces of wood it takes to split to make up a cord in 10 min !
are you telling us you can split TWICE as much as in this pic in 10 min ???
all by yourself ??

ALL HAIL SUPERMAN !!!!!!!!!

great comments

Good feedback. A lot of people are into hydraulic splitters.

A splitting axe is over twice as fast and easier. Thought I would stir up a little competition with the hydraulic guys.

Good luck with that. Hard to split 128 bananas, not to mention 128 cubic ft. of wood, in 10 minutes.

The challenge is on . . .

Alright guys - you have had your fun!

I guess it is time for me to record my 10 minute run behind a Fiskars. I don't know how much unsplit wood I have out there, but I will gather it all up and do a video . . .

I will be back to see how things go down. Good chance you may have the last laugh. I will start a new post with Fiskars in the title.

I will be out of town on business for a few days but should have the video ready for you within a week.

See Ya all then!!!

What the hell is a "fiskars"?

Maybe you could stir up some enthusiasm in the Firewood Forum.

Ho Hum...
