No matter what you do, have someone (wife or kids) around to stack.  I cut
and split and my wife stacked.  We moved quite fast, definitely faster than
using a hydraulic splitter.  Those wedges move slowly. 

Tough woods like oak, and pecan are tough to split dry.  I used a good dry
film lube (spray on and let dry) on my axe/maul and it worked great on wet
wood.

  As long as we are off topic the last few days...

  I just had a large oak tree cut down and I kept the wood but now I 
have to split it.  I am thinking I will rent a splitter for a weekend.

  When do you split wood ? I always thought it was after good and dry 
but the tree guy said anytime is fine, if i split it when its green it 
will dry faster (that makes sense).

  Shop content - I will use the split wood in my wood burning pizza oven 
to make pizza's to eat in the shop
