    Found this Biber Hookaroon at my local hardware store today. It wasn't cheap, but man is it solid. It has a 43" Hickory handle and an 11" hook. I was taking imaginary practice swings in the store with it. My wife walked up and said, "I'll buy that for you, babe" I didn't argue.

    I have been contemplating buying one for a long time. It will help me unload rounds out of my truck, and help drag big rounds to the hydro. I'm really stoked!

    Hey way to go!! That is a beauty. The hook on the beak looks just right as well as the grain on the handle.
    You must have a good wife there too Cash, hang on tight to both of them!

    She's wonderful, man. She's so supportive. She's way out of my league in the looks department too. I'm not sure what she see's in me:)

    Sweet hook on that. One of the best tools I have for wood. Won't load or unload my truck without it.

    Great tool Cash! Looks almost like a twin to mine. I think the handle is a bit longer than mine. You will love it.


    Your wife sounds just like mime was. Love her and keep her.

    That made me chuckle.... Oh the things we do..... Not knocking it cause I find myself doing the same...just many people wouldn't understand.

    Very nice of your wife to understand and be supportive!

    Very nice indeed! I just took delivery of mine yesterday. I like the shape of your handle better.

    Looks nice! I need to get some log tongs too. I’d also like to have a Cant hook, if I ever have some money burning a hole in my pocket.
