Does he need to get her permission to wipe his nose and cough too?! Jeez! She better be a 10 in the looks, cause it sounds like she's near a 10 in the "bat **** crazy" department too.

That looks like one thin cookie right there.
He came by today, she was with him. I made him pay in advance. Took me all of 4 min. I had 4 cars lined up in the driveway wanting firewood. I made him wait till they were done before I started on him.
She never got out of the truck. She was maybe a 5 out of a 10.

I've cut cookies and thick cookies for decoration for three weddings. They were for friends and I didn't charge them. I already had the logs cut and ready for processing anyway.

It's about 2" thick 37" across might end up making it into a clock after the wedding for a memory.

Was asked to cut cookies for table decorations for a wedding for a couple I know about 5 years ago, they told me how many and 8-10" diameter with the bark on them. As it so happened a big white ash had uprooted and tipped over in a windstorm a few months before and had lots of branches the diameter they wanted. Used a brand new chain on my MS260 to cut them all about 1" thick about a week before the wedding, a few did check in the center a little but not too bad. Also cut 2 or 3 pieces about 20" across from one of the bigger limbs for whatever they wanted to do with them. They invited me to the wedding, dinner and reception so I didn't charge them anything. Later the cookies were donated to the church where they are still used yet, and they haven't checked, split, or have the bark fall off yet.
Ah, what a great story! I love it! I almost feel sorry for that poor groom! (almost.)
I was once asked about cutting some cookies for a wedding. I declined, (didn't really have any good wood for it) but now I wish I hadn't.

I've had 3 or 4 request for them over the last few years. Sometimes I have logs that will work and sometimes not.
I have had some strange request over the years.

Thats quite a story. Just think about how much time he wasted trying to safe a couple dollars.
So he ended up paying the additional $30 anyway and wasted his time and money renting a saw...then additional time waiting behind the four customers getting firewood. Glad his soon to be wife got some of her time wasted as well, ha.

It must be something "hip" to do that's shared on the Pinterrace or something. In the last ~2 years we've had a couple dozen people come by wanting something like that for a wedding, bride shower, etc.
If the guy does tree work, logging, etc then it could make sense, but to me it's really odd for a "city slicker" to have that type of thing.
One that I remember well is a guy that came by 5 or 6 times looking for "poles" to make some sort of arch thing for a wedding. I told him he could dig through the log piles and take whatever, but I wasn't spending time on it.
I went into the shop and he had the arch on a trailer in the parking lot. I'm not sure how it survived any moment, it was some abortion that looked like a 6 year old had built. Was held together with paper staples, scotch tape and some anti-gravity spell haha!

The one I posted is off a pole I cut a few years back off the small end of a two log load.

What was the pole for? Brought in 2 loads of logs this summer that had a couple telephone poles in them. Not sure the story, the loads came from a contractor, we just bought the logs, he did the cutting.
They didn't burn as well as I figured, was popcorn fart dry on the outside but piss wet in the middle.

We sent ten loads of poles lengths ranging from 55 to 85 feet for sailing masts to restore ships, that load happened to be up to weight so it's the biggest load I've ever cut.
