    Cut a little bit of everything today. Started out with a elm leaner. Was surprised that it split easily with the x27. Then bucked up a white oak deadfall that I've had my eye on for a while. Swung the axe as hard as I could and it just bounced off! I guess I'll be getting the hydro's out next weekend. Finished the day off with some deadfall cherry and a wind damaged soft maple. What a great weekend! Can't wait till next weekend to do it all over again.

    Exact same answer I give. Have to squeeze the wood cutting in between the honey do's. Or visa versa. :sleeping:

    Nice job! That's a good size red elm... White oak and Elm are two of my favorites.

    I feel like if I just had a week or two to spend on nothing but wood, I could get to that magical place where all my stacks are full. When you've only got the weekends, it takes a while to add up.
