The straight grained locust splits nice. I will split that all day with a
maul.......Knots, on the other hand usually get hacked up with the chain
saw. They suck.

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.

Give it a big ole locust knot and see how it does. That always seems to

a good test of a splitter. Let it set for a season first if ye really
want
to test it....;>)
