    Not bragging, but in my younger days when we hand split everything, I have split kitchen matches with my axe.

    Well, here are the first six varieties. First pic, pinon pine, alligator juniper, ponderosa pine. Second pic, mulberry, hackberry and Arizona white oak. Unsplit longs are douglas fir and Arizona white fir. Don't count those yet! More pics to come!

    Ha ha, obviously that’s for count padding purposes. I will also split a round of Pin Oak before calling it a day. :smoke:

    Twigs and toothpicks do not count. It has to be worthy of the maul or log splitter :axe:

    Noted, I will post the biggest pieces of the wood split next to a saw for visual aid. The pics I posted weren't more than 5 inches in diameter before split so no more limb wood.

    Just don’t over do it. Drink lots of water and take frequent rest breaks.

    I didn't get any wood split today. I was too busy getting all that plastic.

    Looks like a typical mulberry score for us here. Nice little grab. You have much MB on hand?
