Earliest I've started burning was around September 21st. I try to at least get my chimney swept by then. Some years I don't start burning until...
That's pretty wild :thumbs: I'd have to rig up some sort of tailstock mounted to a board to support the other end of the workpiece, but I can see...

I wish I was quick enough to get a picture earlier today, but I came across the biggest creature I’ve ever found in one of my oak piles that I was...
