A local tree guy was working at clearing some small trees/brush and posted his standard CL ad for free firewood. I showed up and started loading the small boxelder rounds when he pointed me to 'two hunks of Oak from the last job.' One was large. Oblong from 26"-32" with a flair at the bottom. There was no way I was getting that into[del] the trunk of my car[/del] my wood hauler.
Out came the Fiskars!
At about the 3rd whack he sadly says, 'Ohhhh...you're not going to split that with an axe!' Whack! Crack! Split. 'Oh, no?'
Never underestimate the Fiskars. I love the way it bounces off those big Oaks 2-3 times and gives that delicious crack on the 4th. Priceless.
