    Just trying to get ahead or is this the typical volume you process? Great looking stuff. Looks/sounds like you have some useful tools to get the job done! Nice work:yes:

    Yes. This. You live in a beautiful state. Many call it "God's country" ;)

    How do you know about Point? My Alma mater and I almost always have Point Special at my house. Curds, yeah, there's really good curds by him too. Some of the best in the state, and therefore in the world. ;)

    I’m originally from St Paul and my parents had friends in Chippewa Falls and I had a beer can collection. My parents get curds for xmas every year.

    The pics don't do justice to it. On the stump is measured 35 x 35.5".

    This is a normal year but I am getting ahead of schedule. I try and get as much as I can before deep snow shuts down access to log landings.

    Actually the area I live is called that. We are in the driftless area which is a very small spot the glaciers did not cover way back when Joe Biden was a kid.

    No, a high end unit from Alex @ A.E. Metalwerx.

    I would not consider the Wolf Ridge because the 4 way wedge cannot be adjusted all the way down so it functions like a regular 2 way wedge. I cut very large wood with crotches. That is why the wood is on the log landings. 4 way wedges and crotches are just not a good combo.

    The wood sells itself. The most expensive restaurant in LaCrosse has a fireplace and burn my wood. They get a lot of comments on it. The owner told me once asked if it was "artisan firewood".:rofl: :lol::thumbs:

    God's country is the entire state, except Beloit.;)

    I've got many relatives near you. My mom's side is from the driftless region. Tons of them around there, mostly farmers.
