The message
from "Syke" contains these words:


I'm looking at these at the moment, not too much money, and
specifically the
Logmaster currently advertised in The Times at £199, and the Ferm from
Screwfix at £99. anyone have any knowledge of either of these?


No. We (a tree felling company) always used steel wedges and a sledge hammer.


I have a few large lumps of oak lying about, about 9" x 12" x 18". Bit
weathered on the outside, but hard as anything on the inside. I imagine
they were part of the house before it was renovated in the 80s. They're
just a bit too large to go in our woodburner and they laugh at my
chainsaw. Is there any other way I might split them, or should I just
find another use for them?
