Just about done, nibbling away at it after work between rain drops and honey-do lists that always seem to pop up when the weather gets nice. A...
Would they fit horizontally? Straight splitting wood will usually pop pretty easily going at it from the side. Often easier to roll the round onto...
Should toast some marshmallows just fine. :)
I agree that it looks punky and so it has soaked up plenty of water. I'd be interested to see the moisture content of a similar piece that's...
41 here with rain, high tomorrow in the 40's, just touched off the boiler again, pine and a couple sugar maple splits. Looks like it'll be going...
Right place right time again. I bumped into the tree guy who set me up with a load of red maple a little while ago while leaving work today. "Ya...
Nice load, Greg! How's it smell? I took some honey Locust home today as well, according to the tree guy who cut it. The base looked furrowed like...
That is one heck of a token of appreciation! On a related note, I just learned the difference between a draw knife and a spokeshave, the former...
Hot weather just means hydrate more and don't forget to shower before hitting the sack. ...or at least that's what I tell myself when facing the...
That's a pretty good idea there, and although we haven't met in person I've read enough of your stories about getting the kids out on sleds etc to...

I was thinking the same thing - that pallet would look nicer in my living room than our furniture! :D
Lol! That's great! She's making a face like "I'll show this wood who's boss..." I'll bet she is a handful. Thanks for posting. :)
I've heard of others having success with borax or diatomaceous earth, though I can not speak from experience. My firewood never comes inside, so I...
I hope some of that pecan is going to stick around to cook over! :)
Isn't cherry great? Not too heavy, dries pretty quick, burns steady without a heap of ash, and smells like a meal when processing. Nice work!
I got my wife's Trailblazer stuck at the garden center one year on mother's day. Got it free without the aid of a wrecker thankfully, but the...
I have learned that the key to hand filling is to touch up the chain often so the cutters stay sharp. A couple passes with the file every tank or...
I tried it for the first time the other day when wrestling a good sized mess of a sugar maple crotch. Had to hand split and noodle it in half,...
Eat that elephant, billb3. One bite at a time is the name of the game.
