Not unless you're trying to split......wait for it............ crotchwood. (paging Gina!)
I had a neighbor from across the street come over with one of those hand splitters (super splitter?), looks like a pie wedge and is heavy as hell, thinking he could just "one shot" the stuff and it would split. Damn thing just bounced off the walnut.
Never tried splitting walnut for fire wood....I usually saw it on the sawmill and save it...especially the crotch cuts.
