A tree company came and dropped off 5 big loads of sweet gum , from what i hear and experienced is that not only is sweet gum hard to split even with my 27 ton splitter , but also it does not burn good at all , i have heard that they make ice cream spoons out of it but just cant seem to find a ice cream spoon maker in the area willing to come get 3 plus cords of sweet gum, anyone have any ideas as to what to do with this sweetgum ? If i let it sit for a year or 2 will it become easier to split?
