To get below 20% it.needs to be split to expose the neccessary surafce area to shed the excess moisture. Stacking is good, i like 300 gallon metal tote containers bc i can move them w/ the tractor.

Don’t need to stack wood to season. Throw it in pile and it does the same thing

Good to know 🫡

Get you some with some knots in it and guarantee you want do that!!

Wish we had red oak on our property. Live oak only, i have buried 6 wedges in a piece that size. Then had to cut them out with the saw. Nasty, stringy, knotty stuff. Its equivalent to Osage Orange/ Bois D'Arc as for density. Cuts best green, splits best seasoned.

Good piece of oak for firewood,

What a dog❤ what breed is it?

Rain helps dry wood! Sure lol

Chopped the sun down pretty fast.

I just got that axe. Thing is a beast!

Dude I think you're yak is broken it looks to much like a dog

AND THAT IS THE STRAIGHTEST GRAIN I EVER SEEN 👎

Try a hard maple yard chunk

Dog is pissed.. thats his toy

Straight red oak splits like butter

Im rock hard.

Hey, new subscriber here. I live in northern Maine and do a lot of the same stuff. I don't split too much of my wood because I have an outdoor wood boiler, but that's a nice looking stack of wood you got going there! Keep up the good work!

Awesome tip and video. Keep making more.

You will soon have it undercover.

I was a chimney sweep for over 30 years and always tested my clients firewood

Amazing so spectacular out of this world how did you manage that. You are the new Paul Bunyan

Perfect shot. 👍

to jest good

Good to see you are including your boy early so he sees the importance of it. And can take care of himself later in life. 🫶

Nice job using wedges, slow and steady.

Good form, good tool and patience will get you a lot done

Good to see a natural swing Best ive seen Thanks for sharing

Hugely helpful Thanks

DUUUUUDE!!😮

Sounds like a pine Beatle they do the same thing.

Admiral akbar?

Nice video! You go about splitting wood the right way (or at least 90% the way I do it). I love that you aren’t going 100% on ANY swing, and are efficient in keeping the wood together for you a tad while splitting so you don’t have pick up rounds again. The GB is a wonderful axe that did an excellent job at splitting and not getting stuck. Try a piece with a knot in it next time to show us what the axe can really do 😉 I think the only thing I’d do differently is start splitting slabs off the outside, creating a “square” (I’ve always called it “squaring the round”) and then working my way inwards. This works especially well on larger woods. Sadly, our ash here in Western PA has been dead due to the EAB for so long even the trees that haven fallen, of which there are few, are not worth the time for firewood. You’ve got my subscription 👍

Ash borer from China. 🇨🇳

Wow

Fact: Splitting mauls are designed to bust wood apart with very little penetration, so they're less likely to get stuck in the wood.

just like on fortnite

Keep hitting it don’t waste time picking it up. Great work 👍.

Good work. Productive work at that!!💪🏽✊🏼🤙🏼

Try splitting mesquite 👍🏻👍🏻

Love splitting kiln dried logs

That’s poplar

Sick video dude! What axe are you using?

Good job!

Send the lumber to my house 🏠 For furniture ❤yes

It is great that you knew just what to do !

Chickens are the dumbest animals when you need them to be smart, and the craftiest when you need to catch em :)

Wish you were closer - we have so many trees that need to be cut down - too close to the house . My husband does cut a lot of them but sometimes hires someone to cut the extremely tall ones . You cut trees down so expertly !

Another job so well done ! A little story about hay - your Great Great Grandmother Mary Isabelle told me to make a wish when I saw a truckload of hay ! The method was to wet a thumb , put it in the middle of other hand , make the silent wish , close the hand and stamp down the wish ! Cute !

I see a little of Buckin Billy Ray in those swings

I love the detailed explanation. I can see this channel growing a whole lot.
