    Hey Farmchuck .... try putting a “@“and then immediately type the first 3 letters of a screen name and a list of members names will show up. You can hit “enter/return” if the person’s name is at the top of that list....or click on it if it’s lower in the list... this will make a “tag” and alert the member you’re trying to get a hold of.:yes:
    Just trying to help:salute:

    Yes, they do make 2 sizes and I would highly recommend getting the larger of the two. That small one is just too darned small to do much. With the big ones, I can pick up anywhere from a 3" log to a 30" log. Much over 30" though you really don't want to be lifting.

    Also, I suggest if you get some, first thing to do is put just a little oil on them so they spread easier and I also gave just 3 or 4 strokes with a file to sharpen them just a tad.

    That was some white oak. But that was a good guess because the bark on some kinds of white oak gets a little shaggy and can look similar to a shagbark hickory. Keep looking, asking and learning and you'll get there!

    You haven't lived until he's told you how to do a strike through! :yes:

    And if you're like me, he'll have to explain it a few times.....:whistle:
