Species Competition for 2024

All mine can be vouched for in my threads and posts.

 

But you split it all since the new year?

 

No. See post #25

 

So it doesn't count, right?

 

OP said yes as long as it gets split soon which it will.

 

So far this year I have split

silver maple
Red oak
White oak
Ash
Siberian elm
Aspen
Chinese elm
Basswood
Red pine
Locust

still have to dig the rest out of the piles

Updated leaderboard. Look it over and let me know if any adjustments are needed

 

I will have to wait until the snow melts and the ground dries before I will be doing any splitting

 

Those pics will be coming. Bark and heartwood in this thread.

 

The plan for Sat is to split one round of Dogwood and one round of Northern Red Oak.

 

Sounds like you have a pretty big day planned for Saturday!

 

I'm tapped out and and as high as I'll go on the leader board. I won't cut any other species than what I already have.

 

I'll take up the slack.

 

I've got plenty more to split just not anything different.

 

What species are toothpics made of?

Should be easy to split, eh?

 

Should be birch

 

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. It used to really show how precise and steady one's hand was. Only saw one guy do it before.

 

What, like sticking it in a stump and taking a swing?

 

Well with a hatchet but ya.

 

Have to dull the end of one first. My toothpicks are very sharp.
