Went on a mission today to find standing dead trees / large fallen limbs and I lucked out. First found a standing dead black cherry and a fallen sassafrass next to it. Cut and split those then found a barkless and limbless oak nearby. Ended up getting a nice load.

Nice, that sassafras is a great wood when starting the fire up.
 
Wait a minute. Can you explain how splits magically appear in the bed of a truck near a downed tree?

I would really benefit from this new technology.

A fiskars x27 is hardly new technology. When you get 2 trees cut, split and loaded then you find another tree to work on....its what happens. Are you splitting with sharpened rocks or something?

Well rats. That's slightly less than magical...

Every year I run an experiment called "Will that wood split itself?". I haven't been able to wait long enough to see if it works. Guess I need to be more patient.
