Hi,,bloody oath they split,, do you want them to split , as in firewood?. . or are you not wanting them to split because you want to harvest timber?... if you dont want splitting, dont cut the barrell up into rounds , paint the ends THICKLY , and allow to dry,, ( for years),, if you DO want to split,,, do it asap,, and it will depend on the species..some easy (ish).. some are complete bastards,, i just spent 2 days in the hills to the west shooting goats and catching trout.. splitting yellow box for firewood ,,, my hands still hurt!!
