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,

Compared to what?

Compared to locust, cedar, redwood, white oak.


Poplar is what most split rail fences are made of because it is fairly rot
resistant and tolerates years of weathering. Compared to other un-treated
woods, poplar is an excellent choice.

Now if he could use treated wood for the posts that would be even better.
