    I'm jealous. It's been two weeks since I've touched an axe or saw, and I'm starting to get the shakes.

    Careful - firewood withdrawal is a known trigger for CAD outbreaks! :loco: :crazy: Better stay away from the classifieds! :hair:

    Nice work! Was that the maple you were going to use in your smoker or something? We have a little BBQ joint in town that just opened last year, and they use maple.

    Look pretty dry already.
    Was it dead standing when you got it?

    So true, either I get some saw/ or splitter time in soon or I might have to find me one of the saws with extra bananas!
