I cut a dead one of those down and cut into firewood length and delivered it to a buddy for fire wood. He was not able to split it with a Monster mall. Hard as woodpecker lips. I did the same to another one once and most of the rounds rolled down towards the water's edge. I figured, no problem, I'll fish them out once I was done cutting the rounds up. I got finished and there was not one round to be found. They are now in the bottom of that lake. It don't float!

It seems once you get the outer couple of inches off, the rest of it splits normal.
