Yikes! :eek:
 
I throw those on the top of the stack. I say to them.. I'll show you, you S.O.B..... you're going in a near empty firebox, that has 4" of red hot coals on the bottom.

Split be dammed.

Revenge.. it's best served in a red hot gasser!

Looks like you won.
Busted instead of split but it'll dry & burn well :)
 
Plenty of surface area there.:cool: Plus, maybe even a wind tunnel. Looks like you went after that about 6 ways to Sunday.
I've got some white pine similar to that. Even the splitter gave up.
 
If I didn't know any better I'd think you spilled pulled pork on your splitter
 
That would have been a good candidate for noodling, but ya never know that until after it gets crushed in the splitter.
 
Wow ! thats gotta be one of the worst ive ever seen...!!!
 
I kept expecting the pop, but it never came. Look at the curvature of the wood grain on the left of the picture. It really didn't look that bad as a round.
 
Love those pics Jags. That is why I pass on Elm, not worth the effort for me.

Ehhh...thats why I built the big dog splitter. It doesn't care. If it doesn't split it - it will cut it - if it doesn't cut it, it will crush it.>>::P

I'd have tossed that one in the woods. You're determination is impressive. Or, you want just wanted to see what that new splitter of your's could do.
 
Even though I sold my Speeco 20 ton almost 7 yrs ago,there's nothing that the big saw wont take care of in a minute or two.If its sound & not rotten it wont be left behind.
 
Man, that's fugly.
