I saw this in a doorway display of a store in the city today. Amazing what people buy.

Here is a short video showing how it went. The tree has quite a taper to it so there might be the illusion that it is leaning away in the video but you can see that it is not in the picture above.

That was a nice drop, Gordon.

I do have to ask: are you expecting a flood? Those are some seriously "high-water" chaps.

Rick is that guy selling "campwood" on the side of the road, in amounts which I would call an "Armful" for seven or ten bucks. Most likely it's slabwood; bought from OP's son or nephew and cut into 12-18" pieces, then tied into bundles with baling twine and sold to tourists. When he's not selling firewood he's digging clams, picking apples, raking blueberries or picking "tips" for wreaths... anything he can do to survive and keep food on the table for his 14 hungry munchkins and their friends.

Rick should be in good shape long as he dont mention I sell this bundle for $15.00..............


Or this one for $10.00............


But if I take a chainsaw to it then it's $20.00/bundle, and if you want the ratchet strap to then it's $40.00/bundle, just dont tell Rick................

I try to go around the perimeter of our wood lot to keep a clear path open along the boundary line once a year. I was doing some of that today. We have this one corner pin that is getting swallowed up by a maple tree.

A couple years ago I bored out behind the pin thinking I could at least get the wood covering off of it but couldn't or didn't want to risk a chain. This year I decided to cut the tree before I lost the pin location from the tree blowing over or something. It had a pretty strong lean about 60 degrees from where I wanted to put it but I managed to swing it around OK.

The foliage was extra nice this year but it is on it's way out.

If a tree is in good shape I keep it for a boundary marker. Looks like the ants already headed south from that dead stump, and the ruining from that tree was excellent acting or was you showing off how young you are, me I only walk away then the tree has to atleast 2' on the stump with no hinge, like seeing someone using a saw with PPE..............

No wonder my sister in law was thrilled when I made some of those at her request.

I guess it's a good deal if you do not own a chainsaw or know how to use one.

I think they are a retail display fad going around. Google picture.

I sometimes do those for temporary mile markers. I never realized how much they were worth.
