Does splitting multiple knotty rings work?

[cessna]

Does the idea of loading multiple knotty beech /oak rings, of say 20"/24" diameter by 10" long on to say a Posch 30ton splitter with hydraulic log lift , and then splitting them through a 12 way knife really work, or does it only work with straight grained logs ,please be honest. Thanks to anyone who has tried the idea successful or otherwise.

I uuse an 8 way wedge and then resplit chunks on a small vertical splitter at side of machine works off one tractor and some extended pipes.if wood is too knotty would can get a lot of kindling.but works well.jake

I doubt it will if you want to make any money.

 

Not had experience with 12 way blade and splitter but even with small knotty logs the end product looks pretty crap with shards of wood and splinters poking out everywhere. Unless its for our own use.
