Axe safety techniques...

Assuming your are doing the lift axe+wood split method, are you positioning the head on the bark side or pre-split side? Maybe try switching it up. Also, try batoning through a piece just to get a sense of how tough it is to split.

This is some tough wood to split! That is why I was so interested in this method, I thought I had found something that would be a touch easier. I tried on several of the pieces turning it to attack from a different direction with the same results. Ah well, I've been doing it this way for years without knowing any better, so no biggie.
