    Finally got to work on this standing dead red oak I pulled out back in October. Working 65 hours a week plus taking care of the farm doesn't leave much time for wood work. Got a few days vacation this week so I started on the logs yesterday, just about finished up and ran out of gas for the splitter. But it was good timing I needed a break and a hot cup of coffee anyway.Now off to the store .:coffee: Hope the pics turned out ok first time I tried posting the them from my phone :picard:

    The pics are great, as well as the work you did. A splash of gas and you'll have those remaining rounds split.

    I post all of my pics from my phone. Many phone cameras are quite good.:yes:

    Usually it's time or energy. But there's always something...

    Ah yes, another happy woodsman that knows the right way to split logs! Nice work Driver. And yes, with the long hours and farm work, it can be quite a task to get wood cut too.

    Better to run out of gas than to run out of wood! Nice work there, I can smell the red oak from here!
