It reminds me, the wife has been asking for one for a while now...better get on it before I'm sleeping next to the OWB this winter. :eek:...
I find the same large larvae (sure look the same, anyway) in the oak I split. Some of them are 3" long.
Nice system you have there - thanks for sharing! The log dog is brilliant! Controlled by a wench I assume?
:):) I appreciate the reply and the questions. Long story short, I can't bend over for long periods. Also, I can't kneel as I have wire on the...
Thanks for the idea and offer to assist! A roller table is a great idea - will need to see how I can incorporate that into the table.
Wow - almost too nice to use. But, yes that's what I'm looking to build but with an even larger work deck. I guess I can't decided whether I...
It may look ugly to some, but my OWB screams for them old, dry un-split rounds. What you have there is pure gold!
I burn roughly 10-12 cord a year in my OWB. I currently split all of my wood with a relatively inexpensive horizontal / verticle log splitter....
damm. The romantic in me had thoughts of a cute but strong blonde about 5'9" wearing work boots and pair of carhartts. Thanks for the snap back...

Turn in your wood burners man card immediately. Suspended for 6 months
My OWB really likes those fallen dead unsplit rounds. For me, that's the Holy Grail of wood - hard as a rock and seem to last forever. I cut...
I totally agree. But also realize that beggars can't be choosers. I will take all the free wood any way I can get it.
I thought what I drug out of the woods earlier this year was a big tree...sounds like a dink compared to yours. [ATTACH]
I have been thinking about building a small solar kiln like yours, but never could find a decent way to vent it. How well will your kiln work...
I have a small fan like that on my stove - it's not very impressive at all. A family member bought it for us as a house warming gift (pun...
Thanks!
I'm in northern IL. Actually a good friend of mine runs a lumber mill, is a licensed timber buyer and logs a lot of the trees he buys himself....
Nice work! Just curious - Is there a thread here or perhaps a website you can point me to that provides direction on felling trees? I read a...
I noticed the pickaroon in your pics - ain't that one handy tool? I'm not sure what I did before I bought one - sure makes things a lot easier....
