Making cedar split rail fencing

[@silas_wong]

thanks for this video, it really helps me to know how easy it is!

Good job. Everytime I do this I forget for the first post to start with the small end. Turns out better that way.

Thanks! Starting with the small end first definitely helps give you a larger “target” to hit on the other end.

How long does the cut log have to cure (sit and dry) before it will split this easily?

[@honeyimgoingfishing5071]

Great work, $100 in 10 minutes

[@nightrunner1456]

Great!

Is it better to do this green or dried or somewhere inbetween?

[@crossedtimbersforge]

Honestly I’m not sure,this was my first time splitting rails. The log in the video was cut down around 15-20 minutes before I started splitting it.

I don't think it matter much with cedar. Most old timers would work logs as soon as they drug them out
