    What was a log load last Saturday at 7:00 am is now a sea of rounds. Took 3 partial days of cutting. Not bad. I’m about 2 gallons of mix and a corresponding amount of bar oil into this load, maybe about $10.00. Time for a beer!

    Last pieces of red maple were like running a hot knife through butter compared to running with a buried nose in red oak.

    Still looking like a little shy of 4 cords.

    What length are you cutting Paul? Have you split most of it already or still that much to go. Whatever, it is a lot of work and you deserve a couple cold beers.

    16”. Nothing from this load has been split yet. What is in the background was split last fall. It’s been waiting for a spot to get stacked.

    Yeah, 16-17" is really happy in the quadrafire 4100.

    So did you steer clear of any metal in the logs?

    Unfortunately no. I caught something on the first log today. But on the fortunate side I felt it immediately and backed off. Over the years I’ve become pretty in tune with the feeling when you hit metal. No major damage to the chain, a pass with the file and it was back in business.
