    Just not enough winter down here to market all the farwood we generate.
    It was 72 yesterday supposed to be 81 on Tuesday.

    I need to talk to a couple stores in town about selling bundled campfire wood.

    Did a little 3-log job a couple weeks ago, then moved the mill to another job and got stuck in the mud... then, after getting un stuck and dropping off the mill, the fuel pump went out 5 miles down the road, (and 50 miles from home).....kind of a stupidish day. 20240130_100038.jpg 20240130_144803.jpg 20240130_171202.jpg



    The logs at the getting stuck in the mud place.

    The fixing of the fuel pump......redneckery.

    Beech. It's grown on a hillside and that's on the lower side.

    Is that a common occurrence with beeches? I don't have any experience with them.

    Idk. There are quite a few beech on the property here and no other look like that. Have never seen another tree look like that.

    I kinda figure it would be curly/wavy on that side. There's probably 30ft+ of trunk like that.

    Would be neat to see it milled.
