Me and my wife at Wild Amimal Park San Diego
I cut about a cord and a half of [ read heart ] ecu it looks pretty straight grained. I took three loade back with my 4x8 trailer I stood the 16" rounds up I guess that equals a face cord so three trips equals one cord I used the mingo marker it worked great I painted my hand and my glove the first time the tip came off of the paint can so it didn't spray. After I got used it, it worked great I ran the wheel backwards to the stop than ran down the log and sprayed blue marking paint. I marked about three or four rounds than came back with the chainsaw and cut the rounds. If the rounds were on the ground I used the Log Rite cant hook [ short one for the mill ? ] and rolled them over and finished the cut. The rounds sure are a lot more uniform using the mingo versed the guess method. I have about three cords of ecu in the yard waiting to be split and bundled. I will order the bundler on the 15th. Today found a few mice in the cracked ecu in a couple of logs I pulled out a mother and her baby out , and put them in a milk carton and brought them home to my son. They sure are cute. David
