My new po-folks sawbuck

Know your limits, respected the tool, but don't be scared of it

 

Gave the po-folks sawbuck a try today.



Notice above, the pile of logs behind the cinder blocks, and the two upright rounds to the left. Now, notice in the pics below below.

 

Yup - it works just fine ,after a 90min try this morning. Had to stop to get ready for a trip to the Cape for lunch with the Mrs, and my sister-in-law.


Tomorrow, I get to split, move and stack.

Most of that wood is red oak. There's a couple of large rounds of sassafras mixed in.

 

I like to use a little smaller diameter log for the posts, it opens the "V" up a little more.

 

Im taking your idea, this was something i needed awhile back.

 

The way the snow is melting, I should be using mine again within a couple of weeks.

 

:stacke:

 

Yep - blocks n branches work good keeping the logs up at a comfortable be cutting height.

 

Great idea.
Thanks for sharing.

What size splits are those?

 

Probably ashes sized by now...

 

Ya I didn't look at the date.

 

A thread that's informative, has no end date.

 

Most of it is drifting in the wind now, indeed.

But to answer the question, I often cut stuff down to 2-3 inches in diameter, and throw that on the tops of my stacks. That is most of what was on the sawbuck in that photo, you can see the smaller stuff on top of the stacks to the left as well.
