    Front.jpg Side.jpg Wood Fairy made a quick stop today with another gift. There is a little elm and apple that was already there. Guessing it will work out to another cord or so.

    I am contemplating hand splitting some of my silver maple over the winter. Seems like a good enough idea.

    Wood Fairy? He doesn't stop by my place. I didn't even know there was one. What do I need to do to get him/her to stop by my place and drop something like that? Is there something he/she likes for people to leave?

    Maybe you have to put a broken axe or log splitter under the pillow before bed for him to come? :thumbs:

    A setup of empty stringers in the backyard has always worked for me.

    I've got the wood fairy part well under control. What I need to figure out now is how to get the wood elves to come do the cutting, splitting and stacking.

    You talking to me OllieOllie? I don't have a splitter, my brother has a splitter and he doesn't want it run when it's this cold.

    But then you would miss out on all that fun Paul bunion. You wouldn't really want that.

    Why? I could see not running it during a hot spell but in the cold? Shouldn't hurt it at all.....

    He says the oil doesn't protect right in the cold.

    Interesting theory, I suppose he doesn't drive his car in the winter either? :)

    Doesn't use his lawn mower either. Most likely he is tired of me borrowing the splitter, but it's cool-- I am getting one this tax season.
