Part of me is mad at myself, as I wanted birch logs for simply decorative purposes and didnt read that these are split.  The other part of me is mad because the split logs I did receive looked nothing like the picture.  I know its real wood and it will always be different, but these had ZERO bark on them.  I could have made due with split if they remotely resembled the picture, but they were just sticks.  So I just made expensive fires with them )
