    Thanks for the pix, thistle. Great work in not-so-ideal conditions.

    Finished hauling rest of it in today,2 more loads.Much cooler than 12 days earlier - 68 degrees in early afternoon.Forecast calls for 75-80 rest of week,which is about 10 degrees below normal.I can live with that....
    Including 2 decent slabs from the butt end - 5.5 x 11.5 x 31 & 5.5 x 8 x 29 inches.Hope to finish bucking the smaller poles & splitting/stacking the larger ones next week or soon after....:axe::saw:

    I need a sawbuck like that. I was cutting some smaller limbs today laid across a stump. Wood kept spinning off the wood as not held securely.
