Another load of cherry to finish my quick dry stack, This should more than make up for last years over use.That long stack is mostly cherry, red elm and some walnut 3 1/2 x 6 x 24 = 3.9 cord, Always gets me how much they shrink in time. Lost my pickaroon in the dang woods somewhere, seen a few on here talk about this one and I must say its a dandy, the longer thin axe like handle sure makes it nice for reach (HIPPS TOOL hand made in PA) the tool steel used must be some good stuff hasn't bent and stays super sharp My pumpkin carving skills…. Scotty I'm not LOL My help is getting better Dennis, two T-posts instead of three !
That's a good lookin load of cherry there . Nice pickaroon ,try not to loose that one I lost my X7 ,nice tool had to buy another one
Great looking stacks you have there Todd! Cherry looks great too. I'm burning some lately and it does dry real nice. I think that red elm is pretty great firewood also, lots of BTU's. Nice to have a mixture of wood isn't it...
Lookin real good Todd, we have some cooler weather moving in late week around here. I may cut a load this Saturday if the new spot I'm going to check out looks good.
The mix is nice, the worst part is slow dry stacks and separate fast dry, I hate oak until it seasoned that is
Yes that was a 1 truck full tree + as a matter of fact that is the first leaner I have dropped the opposite way using wedges to push it against its lean. a lot of what I drop has to weak of center for a good hinge to control drop with wedges. I must have studied 30 videos on it before I attempted it.
Thanks, I am hoping this dry spell stays around a while also, got the biggest ends of three red oaks still down in the bottom to get out, hope your new spot works out.
Nice load Great pics Try some flo-pink duct tape. Couple strips on the handle I put it on almost everything I take to the woods. That color stand out for me, helps me spot/find stuff on the ground
Now thats a great idea I was thinking about spray painting this one but the duct tape sounds gooder, off to Amazon I go.
Very nice Todd. Just think, after this year cutting it down to 2 t-posts, next year you may get by using none! That center row looks great. You are right on the pickeroon. They are a very handy tool. I even use ours to move a log. I've not made a new gate and fence after having to tear them out a few years ago so just drug a couple logs there to keep people out. If I want to move one, the pickeroon comes in very handy for the moving.
Pickeroons are one of those tools where you don't know what you're missing till you have one. Then you wonder how you got along without one. They sure do make moving wood around easier
Really good work Todd! I have heard some say the savage one can be so accurate as to use a Picaroon for pickin the nose. Now that is some accurate Picaroonin right dere. Hey. Isn't it Halloween season?
Nice to see more of the Hipps Tools pickaroon getting around. Did you talk to them Todd, or just order from their EBay account? Good folks to chat with.
