In this case you need something significantly wedge shaped to even come close enough to splitting the fibers apart.

just sayin'.....

Actually the fiskars splitting axe is, in fact, "something significantly wedge shaped".. I am new here, but I note that the reviews of the fiskars here, and on AS, are OVERWHELMINGLY positive, from all around the country (and Canada) and from mad burners to casual fireplace owners.

Maybe you should try to find one to borrow and try..

I bought the Helko Tomahawk splitting axe with a glass handle mostly for the intent of having a new toy. It easily has replaced the "Old Faithful" 8lb maul which I loved. The Helko is light and fast and splits everything the 8lber did. The heads are interchangeble for spitting or felling. Here's a linky for one which I highly recommend.
