I normally like to split oak by hand, especially the bigger rounds. Oak usually splits fairly easy compared to some other stuff.
I have never done one, they are extreme southern and coastal trees, so couldn't comment on how hard or easy to split.

Normally, on the oak I deal with, I am able to split it in half with my Fiskars with a couple of hits as long as the round does not have any knots.
Are you serious? Oak is one of the easier things I split. It's a ton easier than hickory.
What do you split with? I have had the opposite experience. Hickory is harder to come by here (oak, especially red is plentiful) but I split up some rounds of hickory this week that where 22-28" and thought it was pretty easy to split.
