    Here’s an idea if your running out of space that came to mind. If you e stacked beside your drive on both sides, why not stack above? upload_2021-3-6_21-27-38.jpeg

    SD Steve after looking closely at your pics i think there is some black locust in there too. Do you know if it grows in your area?

    Yes it does, I will have to keep a look out when I begin splitting. What are some characteristics I should look for? Or do you have a picture of a good example?

    The Black Locust will certainly split easier than the Elm.

    Thanks. No quickie...never is with BL. It was easier to flip flop n load, but couldnt buck as i unloaded them. Needed empty truck the next day right away so no time to do so.
