    If that was me I'd hurt myself figuring out a way to do it haha. Too stubborn.

    If you noodle it half way down, and then bang a wedge through it, it can be done. Not saying I'm going to do it, though.

    Nice to see you hoarding Molly and the CH thread active. Too bad about the elm. Can Mark drop off his splitter?

    This is always an option.

    Or you could drop it off and I could split and return it.

    That might work! I would even pick it up again, or you could bring it when you pick up the maple & birch.
    I was going to list it on Craigslist.

    That should split ok. Bark is coming off, especially if you can use Mark's splitter. I've heard it burns hot. We have some drying in the shed now.

    LOL I think I was just the recipient of a game of firewood "Not It!" Drops it and tells me she doesnt want it back :rofl: :lol:

    It will look good in the firepit / maple evaporator stacks.

    For the sake of completeness...
    I finished splitting the wood I brought home from WeldrDave's property last summer. 1.7 cords, sugar maple, ash, black birch, and a little beech. Thanks again, Dave! IMG_20210126_17366.jpg IMG_20210126_33992.jpg IMG_20210126_25184.jpg IMG_20210126_10276.jpg

    Honestly I don't know! 17 isn't a bad guess. I can't really stop.

    LOL you realize she gives wood away so that she has more room for hoarding, right?
