FIrst one looked like genius to me personally. The other 3 not so much

Where do I get myself one of those splitters?

Still trying to figure out what was up with the last two.... #3 i guess likes to make kindling and #4 is still a mystery to me.
At least #2 made sense cutting such large pieces, still too dangerous for my taste.

Easy way to lose a hand or arm.
Any splitting apparatus that runs continuously is to dangerous for me

I'd like to see them go up against Quercus Garryana

I bet they won't work as well.

Westland distillery makes a whiskey aged in barrels made from locally sourced Garry Oak. Haven't tried it but I'd like to.

Burnside finishes their (I'm assuming sourced) whiskey in Garry Oak too.

True but there are many differences between wood density in oaks. Quercus palustris isn't hard and dense like garryana etc..

Quercus robur is more what you find in furniture due to its growth patterns.

So that's why I've had those experiences with "oak" when I buy it from different craft and hardware stores. Makes sense to me!
I need to brush up on my tree identification skills!
