In a different day and age, I cut and split and sold enough firewood to pay most of my way through night college and then university. Graduated debt free. Used a 16 lb. sledge hammer, a couple of wedges and my much loved 4lb. Kelly Perfect True Temper axe. Still have the KP. Sharp as a razor. Have used it since to split wood for church members and family. Guess if I were now selling it, I'd worry about aging/drying, etc. However, most folks have just been happy to get wood that was delivered reasonably seasoned, cut, split, stacked for a price that didn't require a second-mortgage. I still don't mind splitting out a bunch of wood for someone. It helps them and for me, it brings back some good memories. Must say, green beats dry for splitting. And, a good quality powered splitter is really nice. But, if you got to get a tree out in the woods, best way is to go ahead and split it out then haul it. No trash to fiddle with. JMHO.
