Splitting locust firewood 

you are fantastic. taught me so much about splitting between this video and the last... thanks so much

Those rounds are at least 6" too long. Most of that is straight grained, so a shorter log with a maul and you are in business. I just split two faces yesterday and the wood was dry. Some needed a second strike, but most went on the first blow. I had more trouble with the maple than the locust.

wow you spliting all that firewood by hand with sleg and wege in one day

hard as hell to split locus logs

Those locust are tough to split and you applied the right technique!

Great job Tom! That kind of work is not for the faint of heart - young or old! After swinging heavy splitting mauls & hammers , soup beans taste like strawberries! 😂😅😅

Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the whole video!

I'm also in WNC. The locust is prized wood but boy it can be hard to split or cut when its dry. It wont get done by itself so might as well pick a way every day. Thanks for the video.

wow you split the whole pile in one day
