    Gonna post these pics in that thread but I wanted to make a game of it. Closest gets a case of virtual coldies or other beverage of choice, lol. This is red oak btw.

    In case you missed my thread, this is a massive 51” log I’ve been cutting on. There are 7 rows in this pile. 48782113-C674-495F-8A40-9F49379B19BD.jpeg

    Hahahahaha. Well maybe I can win the overestimation prize :)

    PS Always soak your red oak in water for a few weeks prior to splitting. Makes em pop apart like butter.

    Wife guessed within 1/2 pound. I was about 30 too light.

    Pretty amazing. Figure you were getting about 14 of those chunks from each round. Shows you just how much firewood you’re dealing with. I’d be interested to know the amount of cords you end up with total from the whole tree.
