    I got to use my brothers loader to move the rounds from the maple I took down this past weekend. Some big ones in there!

    Sweet !

    Some look like they might pop apart with a maul pretty easy.
    Bring them down to a manageable size :)

    Have fun !

    My shoulder hurts just looking at those monsters. Very nice load you got there. Glad to see you have good power equipment to process it.

    I won't be processing any of these, they are going to a friend with an outdoor burner. Shouldn't be too bad for him as doesn't need to make as small of splits.

    That's probably a good thing Sean. Just moving those things is a lot of very hard work. Let the friend wrestle them!
