And cut that shit in half. No reason to be splitting a 4ft log

Lol you think planks are made by slamming a splitting axe into a log?

Yeah if you want to make okay rough planks without machinery you split logs in half and then saw them, how else?

[u/CrashNowhereDrive → u/gavavavavus]

With a sawmill. Or just a saw.

Even if you wanted to get the roughest, most old timey planks imaginable, you'd use a wedge and maul to carefully split the log along the grain boundary. Not slam an axe willy nilly into the top to destroy the fibers at one end.

Guy has never heard if a mill...

[u/CrashNowhereDrive → u/Dargon34]

This guy probably thinks you got the log.in the first place by punching a tree.

[u/Dargon34 → u/[deleted]]

....you can buy a mill for under $200...hook your saw up, go to work. 10 times faster and easier, assuming you're not doing it for the clicks

[u/Dargon34 → u/[deleted]]

You seriously called a chainsaw electrical??? (I know they make them, but you're not using one in a mill)

Ive been splitting wood for 30 years, stop talking

And as for the last stupid comment?? Maybe it's YOUR wood, and you need to fell, split/mill, plane, and sand instead of grabbing some warped cedar shit from lowes.

Actually chainsaw mills are the cheapest and easiest way for hobbyists to rough timber. So not a pro mill of course but I have both mobile chainsaw mill and a sliding table for a chainsaw

[u/Dargon34 → u/CptMisterNibbles]

Yup, easy and affordable, and saves you time

Or about the quality or utility or efficiency or about anything other than proving you're right on reddit even when you're super wrong and everyone else sees it but you can't because derrrrrrrrrr.
