Buddy of mine is having a hell of a time splitting this stuff. Any ideas? He thinks it is oak, but I've always thought oak was generally easy to split. Southern PA.

I don't see any definitive signs of oak. Any leaves? I don't remember working with any stringy oak.

No leaves.

I was thinking black gum or some type of elm?

Looks like the elm that I got from a tree trimming buddy. Holy smokes was it tough. Siberian Elm to be specific is what I had. I threw in the towel and borrowed a log splitter from a friend.

It looks like Elm of some sort
Elm is the main reason I bought a hydro splitter

This stuff is nasty! Trying to talk him into renting a splitter.

Thanks again everyone.
