    That Norway Spruce in the last pic was a mega PITA!!!!
    No action pics of working it down a little.

    It’s been on the ground for a few months. Someone else dropped it, they were smart not to try and bust any.... we have a small amount of it in our truck.... Fire Flake said, “I’m done trying to split this crap- this stuff sucks!”

    She wasn’t kidding. Nasty stuff.

    Here she is in action Dave. Becky and Julie split a bunch of wood that day at our place. They were a huge help.

    damm, Eric VW. You just can't catch a break from this crew! :rofl: :lol::thumbs:

    A couple of pics from yesterday and today's stacking.

    The makeshift racking is only temporary. Had to improvise a little. We just wanted to get it off the ground and out of the driveway. :p
