I know there are a lot of folks on this forum that have truckloads of logs delivered that are then processed into firewood. We have had 3 loads delivered that way and there is nothing like working your way through the pile of logs..first turning them into rounds, then into stacks of split firewood. The sense of accomplishment when you are done is tremendous.
Well, about a 2 weeks ago a guy I know was doing that very thing at his house with his younger brother's help. Both are very experienced and have been making firewood for along time. Well, this time one of the logs on the pile shifted and came rolling off the pile and right over the younger brother. He did not survive the accident. I have no idea how the surviving brother is going to handle this horrible loss.
So, I just want to remind everyone here that cutting and splitting your own firewood is very enjoyable and rewarding but please be careful. The saws and splitters are obvious danger items but, there are still plenty of other things that can hurt, maim or kill you...so, let's be careful out there!
