Very nice. Mine would be for cigar smoking decor and would probably end up in the fish shack, so the smaller cheap one is gonna have to suffice. Although, yours is quite well done and tasteful.....who knows?
Since what I burn in my owb is all cutoffs, crotches and uglies, I just toss all sorts of random size and shaped pieces in. Depending how cold it is determines how much I toss in but I've put some big arse chunks in there and they are gone within a filling or two.
Funny thing about the Indian. It was 25 years ago, before we ever started building this place, while I was still researching log homes which is why I was at the show. so I’m leaving the show and walking past the guy selling em. He had all kinds of molded and carved pieces. Not chain saw art, more carved type stuff, animals etc. The thing had a $1200 price but the guy looked pizzed at how much inventory he was taking back. So I thought what the heck. So I go over and say I have a truck I can get in here in 5 minutes (it was at the PA Farm show) and 500 bucks and I’ll haul him home. Guy laughed and said, get the truck. so he sat looking a little out of place at my first home until he came to rest where he is now.
