I figure this is as good a place as any to seek some sagely advice. Today and tomorrow I am having 12 trees taken down. Of those about half are Norway maple. For those unaware, it's an illegal invasive species that seems to have conquered my yard. Tonight I went out to start splitting the wood. The oak and locust trees split easy. Made me feel like a man. Unfortunately the maple seems impervious. I probably took twenty swings at the first log and the maul just bounced off. How have you guys done with splitting maple?
I'm trying to avoid buying an electric log splitter that I'll only use every few years. I also appreciated the exercise that I so desperately need. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a cone wedge, but I don't have high expectations. If I just put this stuff aside, is it going to be any better next year?
