I did split some locust wood with it. sections that were 18" long and maybe 10-12" across. That is some tough wood! It split it with no problem, but you had to run the splitter all the way throught it. That wood just does not want to come apart. It sure burns good, hot, and long though.
Did not have any big knots. Not sure it would have been able to split that or not. On 3/29/07, Mike Canfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
