Thanks Billy

 

Sounds like I better deal with it myself.

I keep it for myself if we take one down, good firewood.

he might split it with an axe, depends on how determined!!

will be hard after 6 month though.

I split about 3 cube last Saturday with a maul. The tree came down the night before Christmas Eve.

It was a dream to split. Easy couple of hours.

 

That was an experiment.

 

I have found it a complete bastard to split when seasoned.

 

6 months? Not sure.

 

I now have a pile of nice logs in the middle of my yard with an average MC of about 50%.

I'll move them into the barn and keep an eye on them.

 

I've found it good logwood when well seasoned, which takes a long time in the round.

Splitting last week with a maul, 3' base but mostly 14"-7", been down 3 months, ringed and left outside.

 

Small stuff a dream but knarly base has had to be left for the machine.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

Hope its good firewood as we planted about 5 acres of it 2 years ago

 

How's it growing, we have some that's 2 or 3 years old and it's about 10 11ft tall on the good soil

As said a complete sod to split when starting to dry. Your best chance then is to knock bits off the edge; don't even try to split it radially, especially the stem as the stems often spiral.

As he says, once seasoned it is a very nice stove wood, but it takes a bit of time to fully season.
