That was my second guess.
1/2:
1/2 split 1/2:
1/4 split 2x:
those two pieces: one split 2x, the other once = 20 splits

don't mess with the back Casey. thought i had the same thing. went for x-rays and found out i had a fractured vertebrae. it's very painful just like you describe. i didn't even lose my man card for breaking down and going to the doctor.
If I were splitting that it would be 8 I assume you will realize that I am correct
We have a winner.
This is the round deli sliced.....
And then split....

I don't split like that. Ill take a slice off one side, rotate the round 90 degrees and then slice it like a deli slicer. Then Ill split those to suit. I prefer squared off splits... They fit more consistently in the stove.
Already have a winner....
Yeah I see I posted before I scrolled to the bottom. Fun game though and good luck with the back. That's no fun to deal with. The summer before last I was in a world of pain but a cortisone injection did me wonders.
I did chuckle.... White Oak is nothing for the SS. I did have a Hickory Crotch give it a workout, though.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to go. I took 3 ibuprofen and that's masking the majority of it... But up to this point Ive been avoiding masking the pain so I don't do more than I should.
I can add to the game Monday. I have some 44" red oak. I will have to quarter or probably 1/8 it first.
Edit: noodled in 1/8
i try and only take stuff before i go to bed because i would do more than i should. best stuff i found was wal-mart arthritis pills. the strongest i could find @ 650 mg per pill. acetaminophen i think.

I've run out of pain meds and had to use 1000mg Motrins. At best they just take the edge off the pain.
They are working at putting some pain zapper in my back, sort of like that deal that Shack sells on TV but much fancier (gets installed inside me and I controll it with a remote). Just wanting on the VA to approve it.
The Dr suggested me to take an office job, but sitting around all day is killer to my back. I haven't flown to Maine in several years, the last time I almost needed to be wheelchaired out and my feet were swollen to where I could barely get my boots off (I guess from not moving)
Besides, if I can't do something I at least somewhat enjoy, what's the point in going on?

Woo Hoo!! Lucky guess for the holiday!
I tell you what Casey. If you had something in mind for the prize (cash, food, T shirt etc) I would be more excited if you donate it to someone in need or to someone who needs lifted-up this holiday season. There are a lot of people who struggle during the holidays with loneliness, grief etc and let's put this to better use in the spirit of giving and AS fellowship.
Good job with the splitting btw. That looked like a lot of fun!

Well obviously you've made a mistake....
