Somehow it doesn’t look so easy when I chop wood.

This is incredibly dry wood

Dry splits harder in my experience. But it is frozen solid and knotless, both drivers of easy choppin.

I should have mentioned the frozen, but chopping fresh wood is the biggest pain

Correct. In dry wood, the sap helps hold the wood together. Fresh wood is easy to split, especially if it's notty.
