Cant get the splitter over the rock wall and the rounds are rediculous heavy. But thankfully not bad at all to split by hand. I had 40 minutes to kill so I got a nice workout, i did 4 rounds.

    Looks like today was gym day! Get after it! Nice work, it feels as cold here as it looks there.

    I could swear this thing had oak leaves on it, but then somebody on here said it was hard maple. The bark is really aggressive and deep. Kinda stinks like oak.????

    Splitting "outside in" is the way to go. Thanks for the pictures as they show others a different way to attack large rounds.
