    Wish yall could see how easy this Red Oak is splitting. I took a video but have no way of posting it. 24 inch block took 3 swings too 1/4. 1 to half and one each to 1/4 each half. To bad all wood couldn't be this easy.

    Looking good there, my friend. Those logs on the ground is where that bow saw will shine, especially the smaller ones.

    Didn't have enough cut to get a full load. I sure do need a 3/4 ton long bed, that way I can overload it to.:stack: Started at 4:10 and had it split and loaded at 4:35. Not to shabby. 20240415_165558.jpg

    Was ready to get home. Had a tough day at work physically and mentally. I usually don't have to bad day but had to fire my helper yesterday. He's a good guy just couldnt make it to work on time, was late every day.

    Yes sir it is. I really appreciate it because it's totally different than mechanic work.
