[quote author="Backwoods Savage" date="1313350849"yes that can be very heavy but split it and 6 months later you'll be amazed at how much moisture it has lost[/quote]I scored some Red Maple a couple of weeks ago that was pretty darn heavy. I had to split it to be able to get it on the trailer. When the splitter wedge hit the top of the round, water squished out. I've got 1/3 cord split so far for a SIL. I'd like to see it get dry enough to burn this Winter but with it starting so wet, I'm not real hopeful...
