Contrary to many expert sources, I've found that white oak splits VERY
easily immediately after the tree is felled. I cut, bucked, and split
a few very green and wet small oaks without difficulty. However, if I
let them dry for a few days, they become difficult to split. I worked
on one oak two days after it was felled. I started in the morning and
splitting was easy. By evening it became difficult to split. The
next day, it was even more difficult and by evening, it was impossible
to split by hand. I had to hire someone to finish the job with a
hydraulic splitter.

When splitting large rounds, I agree that a wedge and maul are best. I
use two wedges when desperate. One to split the log and second wedge
to help release the first wedge after it gets stuck:

Don't let the wedge head turn into a mushroom.
