The latest haul

My son and grandson came this weekend and helped me cut some pretty good loads. White oak, Hickory. Now I have some splitting to do.
My 13 year old grandson Trent splitting with his new Fukars ISO maul I got him for Chritmas.

My son Doug bucking the rounds


Without these 2, this old man couldn't keep up.

 

Well done. Good family bonding activity!

 

Thanks. You are young. Value it because although the love of Burning wood never goes away, your ability to feed the wood stacks and the stove gets more difficult every day. Chief

 

Good deal Chief

 

Nice looking pile

3 generations of wood hoarders in action!! AWESOME

 

Being able to spend time with your son and grandson is great. Would've been a great visit even without the wood.

Getting firewood out of the deal is pure sweet icing on the cake. no?

 

It sure is Dave. It was a cold clear crisp day about 12°. The woods was beautiful. Chief

 

I think about that often.

 

Strong 13-year old to swing that maul. Good stuff!

 

Thanks and yes he is strong young man, Both body mind and character. I'm prejudiced, but I think he is an exceptional young man and I love him with all my heart and soul. Would step in front of a freight train to protect my Little Man.
Thrre was a good size river in the bottom just behind him in the pic. It was frozen out about 3 ft from the bank and then flowing water. Being a typical boy, he wanted to go down in the bottom and mess around. His dad and I both told him don't get closer than 20 feet to the edge of the river ice because if you go in both of us will probably drowned trying to save you ( it was 12 degrees). Chief

 

Ok, starting to split and stack. Hey, you have to start somewhere. Lol

 

Don't worry, it will be a Dennis stack when I get done with it.
Edit: might take a will though the dang splitter is frozen in horizontal

 

I will be ok Dennis. I know it pains you but really, wood will split horizontal.
