Yes, big wood can be a lot of work, but we just push those big rounds through the 4-way wedge,

pulling the top piece over backwards, back onto the splitters beam,

Every summer I would select a choice yule log for the family get together and it would be in the log holder next to the stove for several months... come Christmas Eve I would add it to the fire and it never fails to disappoint...

I guess seasoned outside for 18 months and then close proximity to the stove for several months really drys the oak... best fire of the year...

layed out some (sacrificial) pallets and put some of my palletized wood on it.

That's a nice one. Can't wait to see how it looks.
Well, today was the day, I finally got to it... lol Here's a couple picts...

First thing I did was to take a slab off the log, then a couple flitches and turn it,

Then I worked my way around it, grade sawing it as I went,

It did have a few pretty nice boards in it, but for the most part, it didn't make "top grade lumber", anyway here's the "tally",

These were the worst boards in the pile, I set them aside and cut them to 4' to be stickered separate,

BTW, I bought a new trailer a couple days ago, so I have another option to haul my tractor, or ? on, here it is,

That's it for today...
