    Spent some quality time with Mr. Fiskars X-25 today. This silver maple from my neighbors place didn't stand a chance. Couple hours worth of work here.

    Quality time well spent! I like that big 'ol stump for your chopping block, nice and wide. Judging by the pic it's in the ground?

    No; it's just an ash crotch that's cut off flat, and it's sitting on some concrete that used to hold up a basketball pole.
