I have long experience as a teenager splitting yellowbox eucalyptus for firewood - it splits considerably better when seasoned.

Yes as long as it is not knotted.

My favourite was logs that had the core eaten out by termites - now they were nice and easy to split :)

Talking of arthropods did you ever have the fun of chainsawing through a bull ant nest while collecting seasoned logs? They are not happy and do they hurt when they bite.
