I've been helping my father split some pine he received from a neighbor with my X27. I finished splitting it all and found that he had a few rounds of a wood I haven't seen before. I asked him about it and it was given to him by someone who tried to split it by hand and had a hard time. My father has a splitter so they gave them to him.
I was curious how tough it actually was to split, and it was indeed a bit rough with the X27. But not so bad that I'd break down to use the splitter unless I had a ton of it.
Anyways, I took a few horrible pictures in the rain while splitting. This first picture is after I split it. I thought it was interesting to see the red in the split. The round it is sitting on is the same wood as well.
Here is a picture of another one waiting to be split:
Here are a couple others tucked in there next to the one above (on the right):
It is hard to capture these in pictures due to them being moved around in the dirt so many times and them being wet from the rain.
