[QUOTE="Morgan in AR, post: 3849804, member: 75427"] [b]Sorry for your loss.[/b] I lost my dad almost four years ago unexpectedly. He was cleaning up after a really bad ice storm we had here in February 2009. He was killed by a hanging tree and a gust of wind, he was 58 years old. I love cutting wood because of my dad, it gives me some kind of connection with him still. I spent most of my time as a kid helping him by picking up firewood and throwing it in the truck. I remember seeing him split huge rounds and telling him he must be stronger than he-man. Dad cut a lot of walnut, so the smell of walnut really takes me back. He would usually bring along a sack of Halloween sized snicker bars or some other candy with us when we cut wood. I really wish I appreciated wood cutting with hem more at the time. Dad always used an 8lb maul, never had a power splitter. I always figured he'd get a splitter after I wasn't around to help him anymore. I was wrong. I can't remember any specific wisdoms about wood cutting that dad taught me, but he sure did teach me the value of hard work.
