    Good load. I'd take anything that was stacked up so conveniently. Always nice to be able to take the good stuff and leave the chaff :thumbs:

    I'd split em fatter than normal, especially since it's already dry

    I split 1/2 cord of pine today that was semi dry, I made the splits about 6-8 inches, I like em fatter since its lower btu wood. Those darn knots can be a pain when you split it.

    :( I need one of those!!! Good work.

    Can't have too much shoulder wood I figure.. I'll mix it in with better stuff during the day when I'm home if I have extra.

    Do you mean you need a splitter?
    If I'm at home I don't try very hard splitting by hand, if it don't split in 3 or 4 wacks it goes on the splitter
