Note: all dimensions are rough....
Block = to cut a tree into the right length pieces - i.e. "block a tree to 17" (ready for the splitter)
Round = 3" round by 14" to 17" long - probably bark covered.
Single = 3" round by 14" to 17" long - split once
Split = 3" by 3" by 14" to 17" long - 2 sides core and 1 side bark - split at least twice (looks like a quarter circle from the end)
I think these terms might be from the coal companies when coal got expensive back during WWII and 14" to 17" sticks would fit as substitute fuel in a lot of the old coal-burning fireplace/furnaces (western Kentucky) Anyway, these were the terms when I was a kid if you went looking for firewood down there - I just sorta adopted the slang for "Q" wood too...
