If you make a small cut on the underside of the branch it will usually break off cleanly and not split back. Try it!!

Was looking for this comment. It also helps with the branch bucking up as it splits. Which can be pretty sketchy.

We heated our house in Maine for many years with wood, and one my favorite jobs was splitting wood with a hand maul. I never used a power splitter. Sawing and splitting our firewood were at the top of my most enjoyable tasks.

Did it get pretty Smokey in the valleys from all the wood burning stoves? Alaska has some of the worst air quality because of people burning wood in the winter.

Congratulations on your up & coming new build. Exciting. I was surprised that you’re taking down the larger home & not the smaller one. Suggest you rent a gas powered log splitter. It will save a lot of wear & tear on your back splitting with an axe by hand. Great Work

Probably not much help now that the trees are all down, but if you make a small cut on the bottom side of the branch before doing the top cut it will make them have a better chance at a clean break.

Great job on the tree project! I appreciate how you always keep safety in mind for your many projects. Renting the high lift was a very wise decision for the safety of you, and your family. I am happy and excited to hear about your new house project. One decision in that process that does need some thought. But sometimes can get overlooked in all the excitement. And that is choosing the right location and orientation for your new house. It is something that you cannot change once the first shovel of dirt is turned. You probably have a very busy driveway on the farm. So you may want to think about ways to bring some privacy to your backyard. For example, if you are going to have a deck or patio. You may want to position the back of the house with a southern exposure. Especially when you are in a cooler climate. Then you can always plant some new shade trees, and rebuild that great family swing set. Have a blessed rest of your week!

About fifteen to twenty years ago we had a wind event that took out a bunch of our trees, so we had a logging friend come in and take it out. I like what you did there, did good.

In addition , after making the relief cut on the underside of the branch make your top cut a few inches farther out on the branch when limbing. This way the branch starts to fall and that gives you an extra few seconds to cut downward before the branch hits the relief cut and drops away.
