Well today was a beautiful day and i somehow convinced my wife to help me with the wood. Even with the splitter poping a hose and losing 2 hours of splitting time i got tons done!

Stacked all the long pieces needing to be cut in half or more.

Cut and stacked 1/2 my maple Pile to the far right in the pic.

Maple is 2 piles deep

Also Cut and split all of my Hickory. Just to the left of the Maple. Hickory is 4 piles deep.

Split the first of two piles of pine.

Longer logs stacked and new Pile of splits started

You can see in this pic where my splitter popped the hose. That dark spot is hydro fluid

Overall i split anything big into at least 4ths. Most was split into 8th's or more as the rounds were that big! Getting the stuff split now and will revist it all in a month and bring it down to stove size. Each split now will split into 2-6 stove size pieces. Just want to get some air into the wood. I dont have room for fully split wood yet until i build my shed.

Im not 100% sure but they are heavy as hell! I'm thinking possibly locust or Oak Ill have to get some pics up of the bark and core
 
Some of your splits are as big as my rounds.
Great pictures.
Good days work.
 
What's wrong with those splits? If I can fit them through my furnace door they are small enough for me.
 
Nice days work there......

Did you split much with the axe or was that artistic license for the picture..........
 
Good work Ski!!

Only split 1 with the axe. Forgot about it and already put the splitter away when i noticed it.

What you see in the picture is my friskars hatchet i use when splitting to cut the little stings sometime holding wood together after i split it
