Just happy to have finally wrapped up the exterior of our house. Still have to build a bed for our blueberry bushes and design and build a fence but those are lower down on the honey do list. Actually itching to setup a tent and CC rack some seeds I bought awhile back now that I have a to little more time and no more contractors in our house.
My son and grandson was at that event on Saturday.
Yeah, I split about 1/2 an oak today & the bigger rounds are waiting and giggling.
Aren't you glad you are not splitting that stuff by hand??
We are close.
I used to actually like doing that, but no more.
Me too, and that's probably why our backs are toast!! My very first business was a logging and firewood operation.
Damn sugar maple gets harder as it ages. I'm working it. But get one of these.
I did too. As a kid I'd pound on rounds for my neighbor using a wedge and sledge for hours at a time. I thought it was quality fun!
Is stress management and physical therapy. Even though I do hallucinate faces and things for accuracy. LOL.
I use to love splitting wood.....catch a good buzz , put on some tunes and get swinging....always loved that unique sound of those hardwoods cracking ! I even enjoyed stacking up very neatly........a regular piece of art. My choice of tools was always a double bladed axe. Now running out of wood in middle of night........having to go outside on a winter night in your boots and boxers and chop is not quite as fun. I even like the older wooden hickory axe handles.......beautiful wood so artfully shaped......great flowing lines........great weapons in a pinch ( no blade of course).
What a handsome fellow. I'd love to have him over for dinner.
