How many of you have split a cord of wood by yourself? I have split wood 2 days and I have yet to stack a full cord. Just curious.

I have split wood for many years. As a kid and a adult. We have always burned firewood, so comes with the territory. If you have wood that splits easy, you can do alot in a few hours. But if it takes more then one pop, it is work. Great excercise though.
Keep at it!

We split wood last season, but with a log splitter. I ran the splitter, my son ran the chain saw, and the kids stacked wood. This season I have been splitting stump pieces that range from 2-3 feet wide and about 1 1/2 feet tall. The stumps are very hard wood so it's giving me a work out. The log pieces are splitting after a few hits. I grew up in the city as a child.

Our local hardware store rents a splitter for $25 for 4 hours. Can't beat that price. It spilts double the wood that I could in 4 hours!
