Ash and sycamore are easy ones to deal with BTW.
Mediocre as firewood, not very dense. Oak and beech are better.

Beech is best cut and split green it goes hard when dry. For
splitting I use a splitting axe. One blow is normally all that is
required. Wedges and grenades seem like a faff to me you have to get
'em started before you can whack 'em, simple just to have you wedge
on the end of a stick. B-)
