Australian Hardwood Is On Another Level

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

This guys whole thing is looking good, splitting wood. Someone suggested for him to try Aussi timber.

Not a saw, but the point is, the wood out here is on a whole other level to what the USA guys are use to.

My place is covered with Sweet Gum. Not hard. Lousy firewood.

You can beat on it till you gnaw it in two. That's about all.

That's why we rip em or have hydraulic splitters. And some of the ash and stringy splits pretty easy. Just depends on species and whether dry or green. Plus that bloke is using an axe not a proper block splitter

Elm is like that. ***** to split, but lousy firewood.

Try Sycamore . It just sucks the axe in and laughs.

Why beat yourself up? Noodle that round down and then split pieces off...or use a splitter.

He’s trying to look hard, anyone who has evening the slightest idea of how to split wood knows to work around the edges.

Depending on the wood a good splitting axe can beat a splitter hands down if you know how to use it.

I give him credit for having good aim.

he does have good aim, but he doesn't catch on too quick

Splitting wedges and a sledge hammer would have been quicker.
