Kinda looks like fun to me. Used to be anyway,,, I haven't done any splitting for a while though. I get do many aches and pains in ribs and shoulders in more 'normal' tasks. Swinging a maul has too often ended in not doing much of anything for a few weeks after. :( I did get the rest of what Ibought stacked yesterday. Measures to a little over half a cord. But, I remember reading the old farmer description of a cord - 4x4x8 stacked so a squirrel could run through it. LOL This is way tighter than that and I only saw bark on 2 pieces. So I'd say its equal to a good 3/4 cord of what I am used to burning.
