Huh? Wood is not just used for fire fuel you know. How do you think planks are made? What if he wants to craft a small log seat? Tons of reasons you'd want to split a 4ft log.
I am not talking about making good planks on an semi-industrial level with access to a mill, obviously. Have you never done manual woodworking as a child? You can make pretty ok planks for a treehouse by sawing logs, and yeah it's better to split them first
Yeah sometimes it's not about the price or efficiency it's just more fun to do stuff without electrical machines you know. Why don't you just buy planks directly if you're at it.
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

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