[QUOTE="cookies, post: 7447120, member: 175741"] I have noticed some species of wood is easier to split when fresh cut vs when it is dried/seasoned and some is easier to split when dried! I find live oak very difficult to get to split when green, the grain is all over the place but once dry will peel apart nicely with a good hit of a maul. Red oak will split green with effort working outside in but is much easier dry. Pecan will split easily green but hardens when dry same with paulownia. Anyone else have this experience with this or covering more species? [/QUOTE]
