Quads - that's some nice looking wood - how long had it been down for? Red oak? That Fiskar's is really kickin' arse for ya! Cheers!
That tree just fell two days ago. But it had been dead for at least ten years. It's Black/Red Oak.
Thank you! Splitting with that old maul is one of my favorite things in life! I can still do it all day long, if the rest of the world doesn't interrupt me.wsorg said:
qauds, your trails much be pretty smooth. If I loaded my trailer like that it would tip over for sure! Over the years I have filled in a lot of low places and uneven spots but it still is a bit rough in spots.
I thought you were supposed to grunt or yell HiYa everytime the axe was swung? Maybe thats why I can't hit the same spot twice!

I only had about 500 feet to go with that load. But yes, the trails are really smooth. My good neighbor keeps most of them leveled with a disc and even seeds clover etc. on them for the deer. Although, our land is really flat and smooth anyway. This area is a dried up glacial lake bed.Backwoods Savage said:
Sometimes I have that trouble too (I thought it was just my slow connection) . I just reload the page and it usually shows up.heatit said:
Nice technique, Quads! Only met one other guy who could split with that kind of accuracy, and he was a competition splitter as well. His name is Geoff Burke. He actually helped design the Gransfors American Felling Axe (he is credited in their brochure), so he is a serious dude when it comes to the lumberjack sports.
