I would use a maul.

live oak will split really easy green.No problem at all with a fiskars on the majority of that tree. Most are one strike splits.

You sure the neibhbors aren't wanting to keep the wood nd pay you for tutting it up?

great stuff bro.Sounds like you know what you are doing.

If your axe is used as a wedge how do you keep it looking new? I agree with the hickory handle having more soul but to me firewood is about saving money on heating my home so if I have to incur a cost that I can cut out of my budget then I will. If money was no object I would buy a Granfors or...

To replace an axe handle 4 times in 6 years is too expensive and too much effort in my opinion. I would look for an alternative.Yes, Fiskars. I have had my x27 for more than 6 years and split everything by hand and it is still busting logs.No problems ever.And if it does break I send it back to...

you'll be surprised how quickly that will get burned up. Nice stack.

okay, nice work Dave. Let us know if you need a ladder.

If that's Gum, just take the moss and leave the wood

where's the other 17 cords?

the way that wood is cracked looks like Poplar or Elm. I'll go out on a limb and say Poplar

is winged elm a good firewood and I have some old dead standing winged elm with checking all over so it looks like it should be easy to split with a maul or maybe fiskars since there is so much checking.

Love your prep work Cambium. I sometimes forget to make enough kindling and it sucks trying to get a good fire going without it. I will start my kindling this weekend. Thanks for the reminder. I burned a bunch of that same cedar last year and it smells awesome. Even the asthmatic kid next door...

No

sounds like you should throw your BIL in the pit.

Looks like the tree cutter used a bobcat to rip down those trees.that is a good load of ugly oak.

The list of wood btu values differ from site to site.Eucalyptus shows 18.4 btu's on this list however I have seen Eucalyptus listed as high as 34 btu's. I wonder what tests they conduct to arrive at these numbers.Huge difference. If euc was 18 btu's I might not have worked to get so much but in...
