Well to me, this was the tough stuff. I split everything by hand, so if I can't get through it easily I throw it aside. Borrowed my friends Troy Built 27 ton splitter this weekend to take care of it all. I had a ton of hickory that was so stringy it would have taken weeks with the maul. Ended up with around 2 cord of hickory and maybe a half cord of red oak. Of course now the pictures.....
