Humpday in the Heartland...Triviola Time
Spring, the time when a young man's thoughts turn to....woodworking!
Here we go.....
Historically, most Southern church pews were made of this wood. It often is used for farm implements as well as crates and boxes.
What wood do I refer to?

Re: Humpday in the Heartland...Triviola Time
Are talking about everyone's favorite firewood to TRY to split? Thanks for the question...Dale
Re: Humpday in the Heartland...Triviola Time
Just because it is in the south, I am going to guess hickory (pecan.)
Nope
I don't think so.
I know a couple of wods that are no fun to split...hickory and oak come to mind. But I don't think the wood I am asking about is bad for splitting.
Hmmmm, It's southern...
Is it a cowardly color?
Nope
That answer made me hack on a berry I was eating
Re: I don't think so.
Actually, straight grained oak, knot free is pretty easy to split, my 6# maul bounces off of pecan. Elm is usually difficult to split, farmers have used elm because of this non split property. Wagon wheel hubs are/were elm.
Chestnut?
That's It! Answer
Jim is this week's Humpday genius for knowing that Hackberry is the answer.
Well done sir!!
