    So a coworker got a call from a family member needing help with a blow down. I got the classic "free wood to help out" deal and because us midwesterners are like that I promptly signed on. Plus he was working the wheelbarrow while I cut.
    Looks like black cherry? Heavy, split fantastic with the Fiskars. The two 009s got it done. Found the bonus insulator buried in the trunk, can't believe I didn't hit it with a chain! 20250411_085433.jpg 20250411_085448.jpg 20250411_102300.jpg 20250411_103944.jpg

    Good stuff there. I would've volunteered too and have in the past.

    Crazy what you find inside rounds.

    The center of the split is an interesting place for an insulator, or anything for that matter.
