Castrol R bean oil, baby! There's an aroma you never forget.

Thanks gents. *hat tip* I'm a wee novice when it comes to commercial logging so this is all mumbo jumbo to me. I cut a lot for firewood but don't know what to call what I'm doing. Looks like I have lots of reading to do. Much appreciated!
