Hey all,
I'm new to the forum, and new to wood harvesting. My name is Beau Moody I'm from Locust Grove OK (sound like a great place to split wood huh?) and im an industrial painter by trade. I'm 23 have a beautiful wife and an amazing 2 1/2 year old son. My wife is going to school full time to be a nurse, so in the meantime were broke, lol.
Anyway now that you know a little about me. I've started splitting firewood for some extra cash. I've ran saws a little bit and split a little wood but haven't done enough of either to be very good, so I would love some tips and tricks from the guys and gals on this forum. I've been reading quite a bit on this forum about questions I've had and y'all are great!!!! Just wanted some more general info to help me get started and to help me get better a little faster. Also, some what not to do's would be awesome I'd far rather learn from y'all's mistakes before I make them.
Any and all info is greatly appreciated even the most basic tips. Again I'm just getting started and don't know a ton. I'm running an echo CS400 18'' stock bar and chain, I'm splitting with a husky 3.5 pound splitting axe and have my grandpa's 8 pound maul as backup.
Thanks again sorry I rambled so long.
