Frozen maple,... not a problem could split it with a hatchet .Growing up we always split our wood 4' frozen in the winter. Just lay it flat on the ground and swing away.
When you lift the axe/stick up, turn them over so the stick of wood is up and the axe is on the bottom. Then when you hit the stick/axe on your chopping block the flat face of the axe will hit the chopping block and the weight of the stick will force itself down on the axe.
