I'm gonna have to review my legal logging briefs, but I'm pretty sure you have broken all cutting laws bye not having your chainsaw in the pic!I use the maul to get them small enough to be picked up on the splitter table.

Good methods in your madness I like seeing a clean woodland on a cold winter day looks nice and dryI use the maul to get them small enough to be picked up on the splitter table.

I have about three customers who would buy firewood logs cut this short. They all have pot belly stoves.Had a spare couple of hours not the best grained ash some of it had too cut with
The saw

Gullet, I believe you are looking at the wrong Pic attachment. I was referring to attachment 363872:It looks at least 16" long (which is standard around here).
I cut em even shorter cause I just burn to cook in the firepit (sold 18 Rick's 17" long firewood last year).
Makes for easier splitting & quicker coals in my case.
Gotcha.Gullet, I believe you are looking at the wrong Pic attachment. I was referring to attachment 363872:

If your back ever gives up like mine has, you can noodle cut them down with the bar running the same direction as the wood grain:I use the maul to get them small enough to be picked up on the splitter table.

I usually use my Stihl 441c for this. Sometimes the halves need to be cut once again to form quarters. The noodles make pretty good kindling or stable straw.
Looks good!From this...

Talking oak/turkry oak, buck and split the same day, the rounds will crack open much more willingly!
A round is harder to split as the open grain surface dries.
Dead standing "dry" trunks still contained moisture and were barely cracked from drying - they split well once bucked up.
All of it got split with a fairly lightweight 1.8kg ax on a 40" long handle - my Dragon Slayer.
