if not in hurry, i would cut to length and let it dry a year before
splitting. probably be much easier that way. or you can just try a couple
and see if it splits easy now.

I scavenged a small black locust tree. The lengths are all too long, and
much of it needs to be split.

I won't be needing any wood this year or next, so I am in no hurry. Am I
better off letting it dry out before splitting/cutting, or should I do it
now?
