Ferm, I split and sold firewood for a few years and you aren't kidding about the live oak..I used to say it was like trying to split an anvil. Especially if it was 300 year old stuff. I actually charged 25% more for it, but eventually just quit messing with it it was so hard and so much extra work. I use a 27 ton splitter. Red oak and water oak is where it's at for firewood if you ask me. Now I loan out my splitter to close friends and neighbors and get any wood I want for free.
