Sycamore? Fair heat, a bear to split. If it's eucalyptus, I have no idea.

The winter part is not available until May... Only the Southern Hemisphere folks will appreciate that irony.

Or it could be that you're rotating your body during the file stroke, instead of pushing straight through with just your arms. Sometimes it's tough to isolate the arm motion to just a push that is both straight (on a 30-degree or whatever angle you choose) and also flat relative to the top flat...
