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! Michele
I havent split any yet this season, that will come a bit later. I have though moved and stacked 6 cord of wood and have 4 more to go before the rain starts and that could be any day!
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.
