I felt like splitting some of that red oak i got the last few days, so i got the maul out and hit a few rounds. My back hasn't been feeling the greatest so i was tired of bending over to pick up the rounds as they fell over. So i figured i would try the tire method that I've seen on here. Putting the round in the tire and splitting away. Man did that work. It was almost like i couldn't stop splitting. It was fast and made for very little work. I even have a hydraulic splitter and this just seems so much faster
