[QUOTE="haveawoody, post: 4858670, member: 70667"] A cold night just below freezing will help quite a bit. Waiting until the hickory has dried for a month in round format will also make it much easier. I usually choose waiting 1 month then split, a very sharp wedge makes the knots less of a problem if you have yourself knot/hickory. As woodchuck said splitting as the grain grows makes another impact on splitting. Then you can always try splitting on the round for very tough to split rounds. Just split the edge instead of across the center and keep splitting the edge on the round. [/QUOTE]
