Geez yall are making me feel lazy with all this wood piled up.

Wood will dry faster and better with no cover Kevin.

Not in the fall & winter ..... its open to the chainlink on the one side, and I’ll be getting some more stacked on top to get the other side more open. Gotta keep the rain & snow off it

Then you need a nice Lean-to wood shed then Kevin.

She was a big girl. Lots of splitting left to do.7910 with a 32 looks like a toy.

The one I did a few years ago was a little smaller, but here's a video of me splitting the first block of the butt log. I think I could've done a little better with a rematch, but it's not bad. Excuse my narrator. I think this one was 42" in diameter.

Nice job Ryan. How's that GB splitting maul lasting you?
Always amazes me when you swing that and the point just bounces off like you hitting it with the flat side.
You also split that into kindling wood. Lol

I think those are regular size splits, they just look small compared to the piece they're coming off of. I did the math, and I think that piece was like 600+#.

The gransfors bruks is great. It's in fantastic shape after several years of extensive use. It has been mostly retired since I bought my Wolfe Ridge splitter though.

I bet. Those round of red oak are no joke. I always try and split right through the center. Once its split in half the rest is easy. Lol. I prefer to be symmetrical.
But I do like to see the different styles of splitting done by all of us.
I like to hand split as long as I still can do it. Gets rid if my frustrations.

I try to hand split as much as possible. But I just use a fiskars cause the cheap and effective. Got this little reminder of the only time I handled a GB axe. Was at the Gettysburg gun show and they weren't happy to have some guy bleeding on there floor .

I'm lucky to have both, the GB maul and the x27. Honestly, if I'd bought the x27 first, I probably wouldn't have bought the GB. However, the GB is far superior in terms of comfort, handsomeness, and it doesn't have those annoying "cheeks" that the x27 does. They're always getting stuck in a partially split piece. Still a great tool and incredible value.

 

[Rob Stafari]

I'd of probably never bought the gransfors maul if I had the x27 as well. I do however feel that would have been a terrible mistake as the gransfors is a far superior splitter in my opinion.

 

[RI Chevy]

I bought X27 first, then bought the GB Splitting Axe. Liked it so much, I eventually bought GB Splitting Maul...
The GB are far superior, but the X27 is a good splitter as well...

Cleaned up some ash blow downs from the wind the other day. Wasn't expecting much so only grabbed the 355t. Handled it fine, even dropped one that was snapped off half way up.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice stuff to burn.
