...sweet jesus, I am getting nowhere with this tree! :help:
This big guy I hacked up here:

I went and bought a maul today, hacked through a bunch of poplar and sumac this morning...no sweat. When it came to chunking up this hickory, Im getting my but kicked.
Obviously I need to also purchase a wedge and use it, but is it even worth trying to do this by hand before it dries? I have hauled tons of the tree out by hand, but there are several pieces of 100+ pound blocks that I "could" move, but am probably just going to leave there til I can split it. Any tips? Im not new to splitting wood and Im not exactly small either. Its just tough!
