I had a look at the first chart referenced above and noted that hornbeam
aka ironwood, had a blank under the column "splitting"
I cut one in a couple months back. Limbed it and then started at the base that was about 24". Cut an 18" slab for the woodstock, rolled it over and started swinging.
Then I cut about a 12" slab and started swinging.
Both slabs are still in the feild. Maybe when its -40 I get them to split.
Max branch I could split was about 8" diameter.
If I was to suggest an entry for the table it would something between impossible and forget it.
Or can this one just be appended to the one listed as Good Information ?
