    Finished up hauling the remainder of the 2 trees I was working on this weekend. Here's a link to that thread in case you missed it: http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/index.php?threads/more-black-locust-a-lot-more.7059/

    There was another fork from the high stump I cut down, that was buried under a down norway maple. The maple was mostly suspended off the ground, and probably dry enough to burn this year. But I just chopped that up and pushed it off to the side, and offered it to my BIL. Guess I am turning into a wood snob!

    Also cleaned up the remainder of the branches worth saving from the larger tree. Actually I'm not sure if they all came from that tree, as there were several other snapped off trees in the vicinity.

    Perfect size, you can just cut them to length. No need to split.

    There's a few in there to feed to the Fiskars. Actually I enjoy swinging the axe almost as much as playing with the chainsaw - that's why I've been stockpiling so many rounds lately. That's my gym membership dues for the winter! :axe:

    Another excellent BL score, nice catch. The Fiskars should fly right through it.
