Hello again,
My neighbor had taken down a large tree and has offered me the wood. issue the pieces are about 18- 24 inches long and that big across. I can not lift them. no superwomen here. some are large y's (i think they are call the crotch)
I have a splitting maul and a 12 lb mallet. I can split with ease the smaller under 10 inch across logs but can not even think of those larger ones. Can someone suggest a way to do this without power tools? (i have none)
pictures included. one shows the slope that i am working on - the other show the larger pieces of wood that i want to split - the tree was cut in november.
i counted the ring - this tree was about 80-90 years old.
thanks again
