Those are some nice big logs.

This morning was probably my last trip to the saw mill for a while. We have plenty of snow and ice but it is 50* this afternoon and the roads and trails are falling apart fast. Nothing but warm weather forecast for the next 10 days with a big rain this weekend. So unless winter comes back I am done until the end of mud season.

My half buried log pile.

Not a big load but I thought I better get rid of it while I can. The mill yard can get muddy and they shut off.

That is a nice load. You do a good job at trimming the limbs off flush. You should see the logs my neighbor cuts........

Not much wood, but I would tear up the timber if I got serious about it. I've only had the tractor for 72 hrs so far, and it's muddy and covered with horse manure when I took this wood run just for fun. The axe is kinda special too, for those that care about such things.

Grandfur Burks (sp), they are a fine axe. I have some myself. Axemanship is becoming a lost art...

Indeed it is. Almost as new as the tractor. But I've got about 10 hrs of solid use with it, mostly on red oak and hickory. It seems rather magical once I got used to the light weight and shorter handle than my 6# Plumb maul.

I got a couple loads of wood and a 3rd on the way.

The beastly MS290 that may be lightly modded.

Moving logs to buck into firewood length.

That's the way to do volume 94BULLITT! Do you sell firewood, or is that for your own use?

The "axe" looks like a Gransfors-Bruk splitting maul? Looks very similar to my G-B axes, except that it is the heavy splitter.
In the Aussie hardwoods, splitters don't seem to last long enough the way I use them to justify buying a good one, and my splitter is now diesel/hydraulic and claims 42 tons
Very good axes those Swedes make, a delight to use, easy to sharpen and seem to hold the edge as well as can be hoped for.

It is the splitting ax (about 4"). I've always used a maul until now but this ax is really really something. I've broken two maul handles this year, but the ax hasn't had that problem, and it is much nicer to use until I get to the gnarliest piece of hickory or oak when the mauls and wedges are required.

I sell a little wood. I don't buy logs for what I burn myself.
