[QUOTE="1grnlwn, post: 4115081, member: 60377"] We finally chewed through the last pieces of elm round in the lot. I do have one large double side by side with crotch, I will just noodle. Worst splitting stuff I have ever seen. If you try to split it down the middle it just sinks the knife in to the secondary and stops. We did develop a way to twist the pieces off but it is a two man job. This was a half dead tree and was BIG. The base was 6' x 4' the 3' thick trunk piece weighed about 2500 lbs. We drug this wood home last summer in 105 deg heat. Big mistake on my part. About half of the splits look like they were done with dynamite. Oh well all I have left is some giant 4' rounds of oak and a little walnut. If oak was any easier to split it would fall stacked already . [/QUOTE]
