As I understand it, years ago they would drill a series of holes and drive wooden dowels into them. I don't remember what kind of wood it was but I think it was willow. The dowels would have to be dry. After driving them in the holes they would pour water on them and the swelling would split the rock. This was used to cut away banks to build highways.
