I've been attempting to split Florida Live Oak for years without much success; my Gransfors Bruks large axe literally bounces off the wood, even after 10-15 attempts (although the oak has cured for a year). The oak's interlocking grain twists and turns, turning what should be a great time into an exhausting and frustrating session. Not much else is available here except for pine.
Is there anyone out there who has achieved some measure of success with a splitting maul? If so, how many pounds? What brand? What style of maul?
Thanks for listening.
