red oak???
Fairly heavy, not as heavy as Oak. Silver Maple is what I was thinking. How do you split this stuff?
I loaded the wood alone so it felt heavy. I did hit it on the edges and got the small pieces that are pictured but its way harder to split then oak. I'm going to fire up the 390xp tomorrow and cut it into smaller pieces.

Yep, use the saw. No point killing yourself to save a buck in fluids.
Almost anything that sits and dries like that is going to shrink and be a beech to split, even oak, which is like splitting celery when it's green. Leave a big round of white oak sitting a couple years and you'll see.
I havent tryed to burn it yet but it seems pretty dry. Will a splitter take care of it?
Thought I had a clist score but I really have rounds too big to put into the fireplace. What to do?
I think I'll cut them up with the 390xp and the 2100cd to give them some time to break in. Thanks for all the advise.If it was me, I'd just cut them down into shorter lengths with the saw. Unless you know someone who has a splitter, that would be quicker and cheaper. They should bust relatively easily then. They might not look as pretty but they'll burn.
