Got a little done, but the weather just wasn't cooperating, but got split what I cut into rounds so still a good days work done.:axe::coffee:
I use wedges on anything with a back lean. It keeps my bar from getting pinched, and I figure from all that clearing I should be able to get a...
Well despite the snow and rain fall I hit the woods again yesterday, cleaned up the red maples and dropped a decent sized cherry tree. At this...
