I love how that Heartwood naturally separated and keeps it's shape.
I truely miss splitting chord after chord on the farm as a teen. it was the best of times.
I just have to say, all the time and effort you're putting into the editing process is noticeable and very much appreciated. Your videos have become significantly better over time, as simple as it was, this one was a pleasure to watch.
+Paul Keating This video was really nicely put together and what a soundtrack!
Paul Keating hug
2023... still excellent!
your splitter is pretty awesome have you ever thought of adding a horizontal cutting edge to cut the "splitting "time in half and getting 4 per stroke instead of 2
I had a similar thought but instead splitting the wood vertically using the weigh of the wood leaving the price on the floor for faster and more efficient splitting
50+ years and I still love firewooding. It is clean, satisfying, productive work that keeps you in shape. As soon as I see snow on the mountains I know I have around two months to get the wood in. Dead standing fir so no need to season. I do my own wood and some for sale or trade and it really helps supplement my old age pension.
Sometimes no words are needed. Such a beautiful video.
I love work. I could watch people do it all day long! LOL
+BeachBow I bet even at the slowest pace, that stuff could get anybody into shape.
+BeachBow ...Yeah, I'm 68 and still do this stuff....I like to say to the 'tough' guys..."Let's go split some wood for a day or too"....maybe even fall a couple 30" trees with an axe....
+BeachBow Yeah, I can lay down and sleep next to it and it don't bother me one bit!
+BeeRich33 Or in the E.R.
are you the foreman?
Wow! That's a huge tree! Good job.
great vid and reminds me of when I split wood with my dad when we first moved to Oregon in 1977.. I was around 14 years old.. We split up a huge downed tree that had to be bucked with a 20 something inch bar from both sides.. We used a Stihl chainsaw too! Great saws for sure! But, we didn't have the powered log splitter! That was ME! ha, ha! But, it got me in great shape for Varsity Football.
Any large fir that splits as good as this log did is beautiful wood to work with; the grain was straight with hardly any knots and had a lot of dried pitch embedded in some of it and that would make excellent kindling. Another positive was the bark was falling off when splitting, means the log had to be down at least a year or more and would be fully dry in a couple of months of summer weather, great video.
cool editing effects on the wood splitting
These videos have suddenly become super high quality. Looks like thousands of dollars of production value is put into them. Awesome.
wow really liking the cinematography you are doing! looking great!
I just chopped up my first big tree. 18” pine that fell in the recent storms in the south. Can’t wait to split it and get some big firewood for outside.
I welded axe heads each side of my wood splitter knife so I can split 4 wedges per push. Works a treat and the ram has more than enough power (50ton) to split anything I can lift onto the splitter. I can't think why I would want to split less wood and slower.
The man works smart. He knows his tools and materials and doesn't try to 'over-power' everything.
i love working with soft wood! makes it seem like fun, more so than WORK!
Nice life you have there.
The production and editing quality is just getting better and better. GREAT STUFF!
i can't express how much i love your videos Cody, really, the music, the angles, every thing makes them beautiful and so enjoying to watch. please keep up !
Nice having such straight wood. Here (CT) we have a ton of oak and maple, even with our best splitter (home made, beast with a log lift, and it has a powerful Honda for hydro) we still have some we can't split. Not to mention those explosive pops when it suddenly splits, I've had some that really fly.
Tremendous editing and use of playback speed changes. I'll watch this one several times for the sheer pleasure of it!!
Awesome vid. Ive become too lazy using a skid steer with forks and home made splitter. Forks move the logs and rounds, split the big ones to manageable size with loader splitter, split the break downs with the gas splitter. Hyper efficient, especially with two people but awesome to see a man that knows his job work. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great video! Cutting firewood is great reflection time for me. Something I have always loved doing year after year! I enjoyed seeing how you worked like a well oiled machine, you're using a wide assortment of tools but everything flowed smoothly. Thank you for sharing the video
I really enjoy how your visual storytelling has progressed over time I've been watching your channel. No words but every shot a small narrative.
I don't think I have ever seen heartwood separate so synergically perfect. I noticed that others have commented on your editing and suggest you are a self-taught amateur. Well your videos are excellent and you taught yourself well; very enjoyable and soothing to watch.
I love the video. Reminds me of cutting wood for a neighbor. One of those summer jobs mom would talk us boys into. Didn't like it at first, but there was a real sense of accomplishment by the time we were done. Thanks for the reminder.
I really enjoyed watching this video. A lot of skill went into the editing and the handling of the tools and doing the work it shows throughout the video. Great job keep them coming
i believe this is the first youtube video i seen where no words are spoken... and yet i find it enjoyable.
Cody, you can cut the time to split that wood down almost in half by making a 4 way splitting wedge. I have used one and it works great. You make a piece out of 1/4" plate that will slide down over top of the wedge of your splitter and then weld on wedges at the proper height that stick out sideways. This way it is easily slid on or removed as needed and splits pieces in four in one shot! Works especially well with straight grained wood like that. Thanks for video
Watching this was just what I needed during a break from a stressful day in the office!
I love to split and stack wood. It's a nice change from sitting in front of a computer all day.
Why is a video of a guy preparing firewood for 10 minutes so mesmerizing!? The soundtrack, the photography? can almost feel the cool fall day and smell the wood....Nice Job Cody!
just watched 4 old vids of yours, nothing but trees and your wonderful family. but this one here brings back memoirs from when i lived on Rainier, I logged part time. I noticed you changed your gloves ;-) and you are still using the same tools today. I have said it before and I'm sure I will keep saying it trill I believe otherwise - You are blessed... Lucky and blessed.
I have timber this size (and bigger) on my place.. a few years ago the counry took down two danger trees along my highway and they were a total of more than 6 cords of wood which I split with a few buddies who did the splitting and loading while I bucked the logs with my 36 inch 660 Stihl saw. Softwood is a piece of cake. Try Big Leaf Maple rounds for a real challenge
Thanks again for using my music! Right at the beginning too, I readily appreciate it!
*really
+Kyle Hughes Thank you Kyle. I love your music,
I can really tell when your heart is in it Cody... this was one of the best videos in a while (not to say any are bad, not at all)
To me splitting wood is peaceful and once you're finished for the day you can look back and see all the progress made and be proud of the work done. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you God bless you and yours.
Your vids... My new Addiction... Appreciate all you are sharing. Thank you!!
Nice tecniques. I like the different action sequences using the axeroon. That tool sure turned out spectacular! Very good video! Thanks!
Wow this is one of those videos I didn't want to end. thank you wranglerstar.
this is a fir log with a pitch seam, and tight grain, which usually means it will be easy to split, no need for a wedge, or maul, and can be split with a double bit axe. having worked in the brush for a number of years as well a cut my share of firewood, i am somewhat entertained by your costume for firewood cutting and splitting, the standing on cut rounds while you split another is award winning drama.
Really enjoyed seeing you seamlessly access your hatchet and plastic wedges in what I assume to be your own custom-made aluminum(?) holsters, and the wedge spring plate keeper. Brilliant, incredibly practical and efficient. A man who considers his work carefully. Well done, sir!
Those look like the ones made by Grizzly Peak
That was incredible to watch. Thanks for sharing
The quality of the video production has really increased of late, and it has not gone unnoticed! Great job in both the filming and the editing. Thanks for another great video, makes me miss my days growing up on the farm. Nothing like an honest day's work to satisfy the soul...
As a Southern Boy, I can assure you - Duct Tape is always proper!
Cody.... your storytelling videos are getting so great. Really starting to look like documentaries... keep up the great work.
I got the same peavey with a foot that mounts to the bottom, which turns it into a log jack, very nice to lift large trees of the ground for bucking.
Your tree has a defect called SHAKE RING. It means, in all likelihood, that the wind stressed this tree physically at one time. The growth rings separated in a linear pattern, and it was easier for the wind to move that tree afterward. Sometimes a disease becomes associated with the separated rings, which I would assume are responsible for that white matter you explored.
+Michael Dougfir Thanks for the info
I was just about to ask why there was that linear ring separation haha. Thanks for pre answering it
Stacking\splitting firewood is one of my favorite and least favorite things to do
It's nice if you take your time with it, but it sucks if you need to rush.
the scene where you cut out the wind up for the swings and showed only the impact immediately made me think of howtobasic, that's hilarious
The one thing I love to do is split wood. I could do it all day long as long as the chunks held out. I used to use ah willow round as a chopping block as it is very hard to split the willow and you can really pound on it a lot. I didn't have a lot of splitting tools but I did have wedges, maul and axe.My favorite woods to split is lodge pole, red/white oak and maple. This was a real good video I played it 3 times for the music and the other sounds.Thank You.
These kind of video's is where you shine. Thanks Cody
The start of my favorite season of the year.
Thanks Cody!
idk why but I always come back and re-watch this one
Love the music. Your vids are calming and relaxing, that's why I watch. Thanks for the content.. another thumbs up from me!
This is one of my favorite Wranglerstar videos! I would like more of this kind! I know you have more videos of this kind but since you have so many videos now it's getting difficult to find them. Any suggestions based on this video?
Regards Nils from Sweden.
Thank you!
This was such an enjoyable video Cody! Appreciate all the effort you put into making these for us. Loved the Duct tape, I laughed harder than I probably should have, excellent humor.
Oh, I love the second song!! (mid-video) I halfway expected a voice like Peter Yarrow's to start singing. :-)
That sweet little custom hookaroon is awesome. If you've never worked with one, it's totally worth getting a new tool. Even if its just a cheap $30 one from the home center. But that little darling he's using is something special.
your editing in the splitting sequence had me chuckling.. Hahaha! Great job!
Great video! trying to buy my own property at the moment and this just looks like an awesome way to live.
Hello , My first time comment . You have some very informative videos . I'm from Indiana So we use an outdoor boiler system to feed the house and shop. for my best friend who is an excavator. He brings logs home and a backhoe with a clam shell bucket to grab them for bucking. We use Jonsered 2171 and 2172 saws for all cutting . 28 ton vertical splitter to spit are hardwood to 14" diameter pieces for burning. Please keep up your great videos ! Steve
I love these you're videos something about them makes me relax thank you for taking the time to make these
very cool to see the perfectly round core just fall away from the rest of the wood. Another great video.
I love these firewood videos! Thanks!
I always liked this video. It has a therapeutic effect. I wish all my firewood was as straight and cooperative.
Cody I enjoy all the videos. but the videos ones like this one where a story is told without words are a favorite.
Good video. I like the editing you did.
I like the calm atmosphere in your videoes.
This video just reminded me to make myself a pickaroon for grabbing logs off of the ground to place on the splitter...looks like a real back saver...we'll see.
I miss seeing wood like that. Moved away from Portland Oregon in 2006 to Utah and miss the forests and rain
I learned a lot from this video with no words needed to be said!
i love the videos it is what i watch every night after i come home from football practice keep up the good work
My late father-in-law welded extra vanes to his hydraulic splitter. It cut the log into six wedges and was a time saver.
Most folks my age have no idea what satisfaction is gained from a day of hard work. Sometimes the work is actually relaxing!
Great music and video! Music makes the splitting go so much faster! :)
I love watching your videos, they remind me of what I can no longer do. As a Disabled Veteran, without the help of the V.A. I would have starved to death by now I guess.
Nice change of pace vid- and despite the tremendous satisfaction received from the accomplishment, it remains more fun to watch than do! ;). Nice video, nice music.
Always a treat watching your productions. The best youtube I watch. Good stuff!
Greetings Wranglerstar. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy watching your video's when I come home. I'm part of the young generation which may be surprising but, i certainly enjoy all of them. It's sad many people of my generation don't have any morals or respect for people like you who deserve more views. You do a awesome job with each video and keep up the good work!
+Zachary Freese Thank you Zach,
After 36 years of hand splitting Aussie hardwoods and at 64years of age I'm sure envious of that hydraulic splitter you have. My back is basically "stuffed" having had a double laminectomy and a possible fusion of the L3, L4 and L5 vertebrae. What type of lovely tree is that you are splitting? I enjoy your informative videos enormously Cody. Thanks
Douglas fir and alder are my favorite types of wood to split. You don't have to let the wood season at all. It's ready to split the moment you cut it down.
Man, I wish the big logs I worked on today would split that easy. I about gave myself an aneurysm, wailing on them this afternoon. Gnarly midwest hardwoods with crotch wood grain is super frustrating. Those big straight softwood rounds almost look fun to split by comparison. They looked like they were almost pre-split when he opened up the initial bucked log.
Love your pickaroon. I have a 36'' I got in Grand Rapids Minnesota but mine doesn't have the Axeblade. That being said I can't imagine life without one.
Bucking and Splitting is a perfect way to spend a fall day.....it brings back great memories of time with my dad.
A joy to watch as always! Thank you kindly sir.
I have rocked my saw before doing it this way. Best way i have learned is to cut about 3/4 in to it or little more and rotate the log until both the top and bottom cuts are showing and then take the saw and cut in an upward motion from the bottom cut going up. Will prevent you from rocking it or dull the chain from the dirt
dkhill27 i dont think your going to roll an full grown tree in its side that easy
Cody, do you have any scrap steel laying around your shop? Weld/make two more splitting wedges on that splitter(make it a cross, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about lol) so it does 4 pieces instead of 2. You could probably save quite a bit of fuel and most importantly....time! Also, good to see more homesteading videos!
I wonder if you could build a feed ramp from the out feed table on your log splitter into the bed of your truck. Another great video thanks
ah, you're a cool cat. I really enjoy your videos. You are inspiring me to become more self sufficient. Thank you.
Cody, the red wedge you use in the beginning of this video is the basic shape of my favourite maul head.
That was interesting to watch. I've never seen a log split and leave the center core like that. Love all you do.
Thank you Glenn
Amazing how easily wood slits when hit with the grain as opposed to how difficult it is to initially chop when going against it.
I could quite happily watch this job for hours
The tool belt principle demonstrated in this video. Wether your cutting firewood doing carpentry work, welding or really any type of work that requires multiple tools a toolbelt makes you way more efficient.
Found this relaxing to watch.. Thanks for sharing
That is a pretty big log. Your in great shape Cody. I would be worn out soon doing all that heavy work. You remind me of my dad he loved to work like that. Just loved to cut wood and work on his farm. I use to help but Im not a great worker because of my bad arm but I did the best I could and I loved to be with my dad and help.
This was, strangely beautiful.
This was awesome!!! Looks like a lot of fun too
Looks like a perfect application for your Piccaroon which you were so happy about. I have to say that this video was really enjoyable. That wood is spectacular. I'm not sure if it's considered dried wood as the log looks like it's been sitting there for some time.
That was an awesome video..editing everything!
