How can I split my oun logs to make split rails thanks

How long are your logs? (ducks)

About 8 foot


Normally wedges are used. Some species split easier than others and some
don't really split at all.
What species do you contemplate splitting?
oak and popular


Poplar is not very rot resistant, both species can be split. Splitting is
easier when the wood is frozen.
