Heading in to get a little pine fire lit after finishing up some stacking. I'll feel silly starting the stove in mid June, but the Girls are...
That's great! Nice job! Handsome shed, too.
Lol, sorry - I couldn't find the "tongue in cheek" smiley. :)
Nice work, Brad! Looks like that red oak was some hard splitting stuff, huh? ;) Looking good there sir!
Sometimes convenience and helping a friend/neighbor makes it an easy choice to take sub-optimal wood. Helping a neighbor and scoring a few free...
Does the fruit get any bigger as summer goes on? Looks a bit like butternut, aka white walnut. We had a three stemmed butternut at my old place,...
Concur. Ash from where I sit!
Glad you are alright, Ctwoodtick! Thank you for sharing the reminder, as well. Although I never learned the term "monkey paw" I surely like it...
First thought I had as well, though I have pulled with the truck personally, not having a winch. Working a pile with limbs like that can be easier...

Only one way to eat an elephant.. One bite at a time! Between one kid graduating high school, another one young enough to need near constant...
First of all, I just learned how to multi-quote. After a couple years. By accident. More importantly, I agree with amateur cutter. With the...
Wow! Heck of a tree. Owns its neighborhood, too. Tallest saplings I see nearby are what - knee high at best? Hard to compete with a behemoth like...
If it drinks oil, just give it a few minutes so you can get an accurate reading and top up if needed. I've got the same splitter , bought used...
Don't think I'd ever get tired of that view, Reloader. Thanks for posting! Only thing that would make it better is a few hardwoods piled up with...
