I love how that Heartwood naturally separated and keeps it's shape.
I just have to say, all the time and effort you're putting into the editing process is noticeable and very much appreciated. Your videos have become significantly better over time, as simple as it was, this one was a pleasure to watch.
+Paul Keating This video was really nicely put together and what a soundtrack!
Paul Keating hug
2023... still excellent!
I love work. I could watch people do it all day long! LOL
+BeachBow I bet even at the slowest pace, that stuff could get anybody into shape.
+BeachBow ...Yeah, I'm 68 and still do this stuff....I like to say to the 'tough' guys..."Let's go split some wood for a day or too"....maybe even fall a couple 30" trees with an axe....
+BeachBow Yeah, I can lay down and sleep next to it and it don't bother me one bit!
+BeeRich33 Or in the E.R.
are you the foreman?
Sometimes no words are needed. Such a beautiful video.
I truely miss splitting chord after chord on the farm as a teen. it was the best of times.
Wow! That's a huge tree! Good job.
50+ years and I still love firewooding. It is clean, satisfying, productive work that keeps you in shape. As soon as I see snow on the mountains I know I have around two months to get the wood in. Dead standing fir so no need to season. I do my own wood and some for sale or trade and it really helps supplement my old age pension.
your splitter is pretty awesome have you ever thought of adding a horizontal cutting edge to cut the "splitting "time in half and getting 4 per stroke instead of 2
I had a similar thought but instead splitting the wood vertically using the weigh of the wood leaving the price on the floor for faster and more efficient splitting
great vid and reminds me of when I split wood with my dad when we first moved to Oregon in 1977.. I was around 14 years old.. We split up a huge downed tree that had to be bucked with a 20 something inch bar from both sides.. We used a Stihl chainsaw too! Great saws for sure! But, we didn't have the powered log splitter! That was ME! ha, ha! But, it got me in great shape for Varsity Football.
cool editing effects on the wood splitting
The man works smart. He knows his tools and materials and doesn't try to 'over-power' everything.
Any large fir that splits as good as this log did is beautiful wood to work with; the grain was straight with hardly any knots and had a lot of dried pitch embedded in some of it and that would make excellent kindling. Another positive was the bark was falling off when splitting, means the log had to be down at least a year or more and would be fully dry in a couple of months of summer weather, great video.
I welded axe heads each side of my wood splitter knife so I can split 4 wedges per push. Works a treat and the ram has more than enough power (50ton) to split anything I can lift onto the splitter. I can't think why I would want to split less wood and slower.
These videos have suddenly become super high quality. Looks like thousands of dollars of production value is put into them. Awesome.
Your vids... My new Addiction... Appreciate all you are sharing. Thank you!!
I love to split and stack wood. It's a nice change from sitting in front of a computer all day.
i love working with soft wood! makes it seem like fun, more so than WORK!
Nice life you have there.
i believe this is the first youtube video i seen where no words are spoken... and yet i find it enjoyable.
As a Southern Boy, I can assure you - Duct Tape is always proper!
I love the video. Reminds me of cutting wood for a neighbor. One of those summer jobs mom would talk us boys into. Didn't like it at first, but there was a real sense of accomplishment by the time we were done. Thanks for the reminder.
I always liked this video. It has a therapeutic effect. I wish all my firewood was as straight and cooperative.
Nice having such straight wood. Here (CT) we have a ton of oak and maple, even with our best splitter (home made, beast with a log lift, and it has a powerful Honda for hydro) we still have some we can't split. Not to mention those explosive pops when it suddenly splits, I've had some that really fly.
I have timber this size (and bigger) on my place.. a few years ago the counry took down two danger trees along my highway and they were a total of more than 6 cords of wood which I split with a few buddies who did the splitting and loading while I bucked the logs with my 36 inch 660 Stihl saw. Softwood is a piece of cake. Try Big Leaf Maple rounds for a real challenge
Great video! trying to buy my own property at the moment and this just looks like an awesome way to live.
I just chopped up my first big tree. 18” pine that fell in the recent storms in the south. Can’t wait to split it and get some big firewood for outside.
Bucking and Splitting is a perfect way to spend a fall day.....it brings back great memories of time with my dad.
I miss seeing wood like that. Moved away from Portland Oregon in 2006 to Utah and miss the forests and rain
Really enjoyed seeing you seamlessly access your hatchet and plastic wedges in what I assume to be your own custom-made aluminum(?) holsters, and the wedge spring plate keeper. Brilliant, incredibly practical and efficient. A man who considers his work carefully. Well done, sir!
Those look like the ones made by Grizzly Peak
just watched 4 old vids of yours, nothing but trees and your wonderful family. but this one here brings back memoirs from when i lived on Rainier, I logged part time. I noticed you changed your gloves ;-) and you are still using the same tools today. I have said it before and I'm sure I will keep saying it trill I believe otherwise - You are blessed... Lucky and blessed.
the scene where you cut out the wind up for the swings and showed only the impact immediately made me think of howtobasic, that's hilarious
The one thing I love to do is split wood. I could do it all day long as long as the chunks held out. I used to use ah willow round as a chopping block as it is very hard to split the willow and you can really pound on it a lot. I didn't have a lot of splitting tools but I did have wedges, maul and axe.My favorite woods to split is lodge pole, red/white oak and maple. This was a real good video I played it 3 times for the music and the other sounds.Thank You.
Watching this was just what I needed during a break from a stressful day in the office!
I don't think I have ever seen heartwood separate so synergically perfect. I noticed that others have commented on your editing and suggest you are a self-taught amateur. Well your videos are excellent and you taught yourself well; very enjoyable and soothing to watch.
Your tree has a defect called SHAKE RING. It means, in all likelihood, that the wind stressed this tree physically at one time. The growth rings separated in a linear pattern, and it was easier for the wind to move that tree afterward. Sometimes a disease becomes associated with the separated rings, which I would assume are responsible for that white matter you explored.
+Michael Dougfir Thanks for the info
I was just about to ask why there was that linear ring separation haha. Thanks for pre answering it
My late father-in-law welded extra vanes to his hydraulic splitter. It cut the log into six wedges and was a time saver.
Cody, you can cut the time to split that wood down almost in half by making a 4 way splitting wedge. I have used one and it works great. You make a piece out of 1/4" plate that will slide down over top of the wedge of your splitter and then weld on wedges at the proper height that stick out sideways. This way it is easily slid on or removed as needed and splits pieces in four in one shot! Works especially well with straight grained wood like that. Thanks for video
Most folks my age have no idea what satisfaction is gained from a day of hard work. Sometimes the work is actually relaxing!
Why is a video of a guy preparing firewood for 10 minutes so mesmerizing!? The soundtrack, the photography? can almost feel the cool fall day and smell the wood....Nice Job Cody!
This was, strangely beautiful.
I could quite happily watch this job for hours
Awesome vid. Ive become too lazy using a skid steer with forks and home made splitter. Forks move the logs and rounds, split the big ones to manageable size with loader splitter, split the break downs with the gas splitter. Hyper efficient, especially with two people but awesome to see a man that knows his job work. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
That sweet little custom hookaroon is awesome. If you've never worked with one, it's totally worth getting a new tool. Even if its just a cheap $30 one from the home center. But that little darling he's using is something special.
wow really liking the cinematography you are doing! looking great!
this is a fir log with a pitch seam, and tight grain, which usually means it will be easy to split, no need for a wedge, or maul, and can be split with a double bit axe. having worked in the brush for a number of years as well a cut my share of firewood, i am somewhat entertained by your costume for firewood cutting and splitting, the standing on cut rounds while you split another is award winning drama.
Your videos about wood are your best in my opinion
Great video! Cutting firewood is great reflection time for me. Something I have always loved doing year after year! I enjoyed seeing how you worked like a well oiled machine, you're using a wide assortment of tools but everything flowed smoothly. Thank you for sharing the video
Cody I enjoy all the videos. but the videos ones like this one where a story is told without words are a favorite.
I love these firewood videos! Thanks!
Boy do I know this video well. Most of the maples I cut are this big. This right here is my yearly winter prep.
This video just reminded me to make myself a pickaroon for grabbing logs off of the ground to place on the splitter...looks like a real back saver...we'll see.
Sweet....Reminds me of the old Popular Mechanics..."Wordless Workshop"....!
I got the same peavey with a foot that mounts to the bottom, which turns it into a log jack, very nice to lift large trees of the ground for bucking.
I like the calm atmosphere in your videoes.
To me splitting wood is peaceful and once you're finished for the day you can look back and see all the progress made and be proud of the work done. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you God bless you and yours.
That was interesting to watch. I've never seen a log split and leave the center core like that. Love all you do.
Thank you Glenn
I got to say all in all I really enjoy the whole process of splitting wood,it seems you do to.
These kind of video's is where you shine. Thanks Cody
Thanks again for using my music! Right at the beginning too, I readily appreciate it!
*really
+Kyle Hughes Thank you Kyle. I love your music,
Wow this is one of those videos I didn't want to end. thank you wranglerstar.
I have rocked my saw before doing it this way. Best way i have learned is to cut about 3/4 in to it or little more and rotate the log until both the top and bottom cuts are showing and then take the saw and cut in an upward motion from the bottom cut going up. Will prevent you from rocking it or dull the chain from the dirt
dkhill27 i dont think your going to roll an full grown tree in its side that easy
Haha: How much wood would a Cody chuck if a Cody could chuck wood? Haha A LOT!!
I love watching your videos, they remind me of what I can no longer do. As a Disabled Veteran, without the help of the V.A. I would have starved to death by now I guess.
No commentary and still loved it !
This is practically an ASMR video. Lol. Very satisfying
Thanks for the restful morning coffee sipping video!
The production and editing quality is just getting better and better. GREAT STUFF!
The start of my favorite season of the year.
Thanks Cody!
Splitting wood with a maul and a wedge is very "satisfying' ! Of course it is nice to have such straight grained wood.
Splitting rounds that are frozen solid (below 20F) works well also,
The tool belt principle demonstrated in this video. Wether your cutting firewood doing carpentry work, welding or really any type of work that requires multiple tools a toolbelt makes you way more efficient.
Very well done video !!! Sometimes it's best to have no noise or talking in the video......Perfect, most educational and intertaining indeed !
Tremendous editing and use of playback speed changes. I'll watch this one several times for the sheer pleasure of it!!
Really roughing it homesteading Such hard work log splitting
Nice tecniques. I like the different action sequences using the axeroon. That tool sure turned out spectacular! Very good video! Thanks!
Hello , My first time comment . You have some very informative videos . I'm from Indiana So we use an outdoor boiler system to feed the house and shop. for my best friend who is an excavator. He brings logs home and a backhoe with a clam shell bucket to grab them for bucking. We use Jonsered 2171 and 2172 saws for all cutting . 28 ton vertical splitter to spit are hardwood to 14" diameter pieces for burning. Please keep up your great videos ! Steve
Man, I wish the big logs I worked on today would split that easy. I about gave myself an aneurysm, wailing on them this afternoon. Gnarly midwest hardwoods with crotch wood grain is super frustrating. Those big straight softwood rounds almost look fun to split by comparison. They looked like they were almost pre-split when he opened up the initial bucked log.
Your videos are therapy. I am fortunate enough to have much acreage to "play" on but unfortunately I work all the time. It's nice when I finally get a chance though. God bless. Keep them coming!
I wish I could split red oak that easily.
I wish I could split white oak that easily.
I wish i could split elm this easily
Wallace Anderson it isn’t any harder when it is dry
@@b.gpyrotechnics6408
I have better luck when red oak is just downed although some red oak seems to have much harder fibers than others.
I’ll split some giant 48” rounds with a maul
quite easily and then another tree from another location will be like trying to split sweetgum.
I had one leaner that was downed a cross a creek and the rootball was still being fed nicely.
Water was literally pouring out of the log as the rounds dropped on the ground.
Heavy, heavy , heavy but that stuff was a dream to split .
Three pops with the maul to split the round then just walk around it in a circle swinging like a boss with trust nice hollow “chuck” sound when each piece separated nicely.
Man I wish they’d all split that easily.
The read oak I’m working on now is 70 years old and 37” across and is a total chore to split.
The fibers are very strong.
Stacking\splitting firewood is one of my favorite and least favorite things to do
It's nice if you take your time with it, but it sucks if you need to rush.
The small axes that you were holding is very interesting, more useful than normal ones.
I can smell the saw gas and sawdust! Pretty cool how the core was popping lose on the rounds when you had the maul a cracken.
very cool to see the perfectly round core just fall away from the rest of the wood. Another great video.
First time a TH-cam video background music worked with the footage. Fun to watch.
For being self-taught your production quality is damn good.
This was awesome!!! Looks like a lot of fun too
nice technique to keep the bar from pinching, I'm getting long in the tooth to split much with a mall, use a vertical splitter to reduce the size of the round, moving it with the trustworthy hookaroon
That is a pretty big log. Your in great shape Cody. I would be worn out soon doing all that heavy work. You remind me of my dad he loved to work like that. Just loved to cut wood and work on his farm. I use to help but Im not a great worker because of my bad arm but I did the best I could and I loved to be with my dad and help.
You make it look so effortless.
I can see how handy that home made pickaroon from Australia is
I do this for a living and it's the most satisfying job I've ever had.
I really enjoy how your visual storytelling has progressed over time I've been watching your channel. No words but every shot a small narrative.
Love the music. Your vids are calming and relaxing, that's why I watch. Thanks for the content.. another thumbs up from me!
I learned a lot from this video with no words needed to be said!
This has to be one of your best videos
Cody, the red wedge you use in the beginning of this video is the basic shape of my favourite maul head.
ah, you're a cool cat. I really enjoy your videos. You are inspiring me to become more self sufficient. Thank you.
That looks like a satisfying day of work.
Love your pickaroon. I have a 36'' I got in Grand Rapids Minnesota but mine doesn't have the Axeblade. That being said I can't imagine life without one.
I watched videos like this then had the chance to cut up a red oak this size that fell in my backyard. Definatly was 10x harder to split the rounds. This tree looks dead and well seasoned. He makes it look very easy here lol.
Sorry this one ended. Great video and great channel. Yours is one of the best on TH-cam
The music was perfect in this one like it a lot
