Splitting Elm - Any advice?

[spudulike]

Personally I just go through the rings with a chainsaw if it is too hard to split. It creates loads of noodles and can jam the clutch cover up but is a damn sight easier than trying to split well seasoned dead wood!

 

I am just doing my own personal firewood this way - the wood is fine fire wood though:thumbup:

son in law has just split a load up with just a normal axe its hard but it does split. re sharp blunt the axe he uses is so blunt but its splits well have a grundfos maul but its lost in the woodpile but that splits wood well.

wish we could get more elm is the best firewood for miles. i try and ration how much i sell but mix it with other wood. if its all elm its sold for a lot more.

got to be worth 100 for a pick up load.

I`ve had some sucess with a wood grenade type wedge and a sledge hammer.
