    Wore me out, but it processed, the one good log has been milled and stickered, and I’m rolled up for our first little storm

    The crazy twisted section that was 20 feet up where the tree went over was the issue

    I kept cutting towards it until the strands would eat and bind my saw. Eventually got that part to about 6 feet and made it the center piece of my next bonfire
