    Well I got some of that wood that I pulled from across the road split today (about half ) till I ran out of gas and was too lazy to go to town and get more. :emb: That spliter was the best $200 I’ve spent. Anyway it wasn’t too bad of a day the wind has finally stopped and it’s in the 50s. 4EE79A4B-AD1C-4732-9C30-280A8B24CB46.jpeg 8D5881B8-4BD8-471B-BC38-95D47F11CF4D.jpeg 45B777A2-70C1-4864-AE33-65FBA45F55B4.jpeg

    Yeah it’s homemade. I have no idea how many ton it would be. It has an old 10hp Tecumseh on it. The wife was p!$$ed when I bought it so I told her to try and price the parts :whistle:
    The yellow wood is hedge.

    Some great stuff! Ive just learned about "hedge" here on the forum. Its something not around here in Connecticut.
    Funny how women will complain about stuff like that, but do we do the same when they find shoes/clothes at a huge discount?

    That red streak says box elder. At first I thought it was a weird screw or nail but blowing it up it looks like some sort of boring insect path.

    Love the splitter. Gooder on you for getting a fully operational splitter for 200 beans!

    I like your firewood rack. Looks like it will last a long time.
