My Fiskars and 8lb Maul are seemingly dull....or something.
I have hard time putting an edge on the Fiskars.

They use hard steel for sure. But the wood is very difficult to split as well.

Yes, I concur on both statements! lol

When you hit those rounds with the sharp end it's almost as if you thought you were using the flat end. Lol
Bounces right off...

Yeppers 4 sure.
30 minutes of splitting suddenly equals 1 hour of normal splitting!
I wish that stuff busted up like White Ash!!

Or red oak. Lol
Thank god for chainsaws!!!

I cheated. Couldn’t pass up the deal though. 9-10 cords of beech

The stuff Dan and I cut splits super easy with the fiskars, really straight grain. The last oak I split was a pain, tons of knots in it, took forever to split!

When it's straight grain like that i split faster with the fikars than I do with the hydraulic splitter!

Finally making progress on my cache. Here in NM we mainly have piñon, juniper, pine, and brush oak. I’ve been behind the past 2 years since we moved, so want to get back to being At least 2 winters ahead. Having Labor Day off, I’m planning on making 3 trips to the hills.

Nice job.

I haven't touched my log pile in 2-3 months, too damn hot!
Haven't even stacked the bucked and split wood.
But no worries, I am covered for at least this winter and then some.
I too want to get ahead 2-3 winters.

Been working the silver maples here. It's gonna test the splitter!

Guy calls and says he has some logs for me, got my number from another firewood contact. Once I got there he admitted he knew what it was, so I showed him. Took 3/4 and wouldn't allow him or his friend to help. They just had to watch!
That should teach them for lying.

Looks like ash, not pine as they told you. Let's buck to length and split some of this soon. That's about 100 therms or more of NG equivalent loaded in your truck, also known as 10 million BTUs. Had I been there, we would have loaded all of it, rain or shine.

Good score!

Sure looks like pine to me.

100% grade A pine and has all that wonderful pine sap. Think I will just keep it at the house for use in a couple years. Great for fast heat and starters.
Feel bad on how I acted when I picked it up, I was 100% grade A B*tch.
