Got some big ass pieces of wood to chop

I have wood splitters, axes and an electric chainsaw. Having a hell of a time cutting these down to pieces. Any insight would be great.

Scrap that electric saw for one, next get yourself a good hatchet, a 3 pound axe and an 8 pound splitting maul.

Start by using the tools that you have.

Did you soak them in wood first?

Tell your neighbor to report you for hiding drugs in your firewood

Soak the logs in wood. Seriously good heavy maul and a big straight on swing.

Sharpening tools and learning how to properly use them has solved 85 percent of the problems for me, good luck @op

axe and wedges or a splitting maul should do it

Use one of the rounds for a base. Put the piece you want to split on top. Use the axe and start working around the edges until you split it.

Wood maul should work. Take a hard swing get it good and stuck. Then hit with sledge hammer util spilt

I've done it (you REALLY aren't supposed to) but the steel is relatively brittle so steel to steel can fracture or crack it, same as hammers
