[QUOTE="haveawoody, post: 4571808, member: 70667"] I've split very little Red Elm but for me the stuff I did it split real nice as soon as the bark was lifting and ends were checking much like rock elm. American elm is another story, if you catch it at just the right time it splits pretty well but splitting on a cold day makes for a huge difference. Even on cold days though American elm can be a bear so for me when it's American elm time I feed one piece in and if it splits all the way through great, if not a fresh piece goes in and finishes the first piece for me. Splitting American elm that way and it seems to go pretty smooth, a sharp wedge and a cold day both have quite an impact on American elm. [/QUOTE]
