I have a 10,000# pressure load cell and lots of dry wedge-shaped oak chips created by the log splitter, so I'll try it after today's chores. My experience from splitting heavy wet firewood small enough to lift to the top of the stack is that an axe hit inadequate to split the wood forces water from it on both sides.
