    I got a bunch of stuff to do this weekend, and I wanted to squeeze this in. Little more cherry for my holz - hopefully enough to finish.

    I picked this one out earlier this week. Crooked little cherry growing right at the base of a really nice 20" black locust. Took off from work an hour early and got it out of the woods before dark. 45 mins later it was all split. :axe:

    The holz looked great last time I saw it. Can't wait to see the finished product! When you're done there, you can come build one for me:thumbs:. As always, nice work and be safe Shawn!

    That's what I hate about losing daylight savings time I can't get in the woods after work.
    Dark when I leave dark when I get home:(. That's a nice after work score, got some cherry burning in the stove right now good stuff and it smells great.:thumbs:

    The base is 10' diameter, 4' high - 314.159 cuft ;):D -roughly 2.5 cords black locust. The roof should end up 3.75' high - about 2/3 cord black cherry on top.:D

    Remains to be seen about top cover. It's going to sit for a couple years. Hopefully the angle of the splits on the roof will help it shed water pretty good.
