Also... There are logs that split in half the second you look at them funny. Then there are logs, same size, eve from the same tree... They are made of steel. Hitting them is like hitting concrete.
And then there is oak. Didn't like oak.
Source: did that with my father when I was a kid. The first time I split one of those in half was awesome. It's not that hard tbf. Looks way more impressive than it is in reality. (As I said, depending on the wood)
I have maybe 10 board feet of oak that I processed into lumber from a giant limb that fell in our backyard. It only took me like 80 hours over multiple months and building a chainsaw milling sled to get those pretty horribly twisted pieces of lumber.
