i always pictured you with an axe splitting those logs.
Had not thought about chain saws. That just doesn't seem right for you.
Roger,
Chop a couple chords with an ax and split them with same and get back to us!

Oh, not me. I'm in no physical condition to do anything like that.
But Rufus in one of his many forms probably could do it rather quickly.

My first paid employment was splitting firewood - $10/stacked cord loaded on the truck. That was with a hydraulic splitter.
But for more than 45 years now; chain saw to cut logs into lengths that can be moved/picked up; axe or hammer and 3 wedges to split to fireplace size.
It's both my health/exercise gym club and my means to work off aggravation.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.
