...that just flies apart when you look at it? I split some gorgeous red oak with the Fiskars this afternoon. This was the heart wood from a huge, tall, straight red oak that split like a dream. This is the kind of wood that makes hand splitting a joy. It's almost a shame to think it will be fuel in 3 or 4 years. It would make some killer floors or cabinets. Some guys cut it down logging near my grandmother's farm a year or so ago. They left the log and never came back. It's been in log form since then, and dad bucked it up last weekend.
