Put 3 coats of triple thick varathane on the island countertop made from EAB killed ash slabs from the nearby Amish sawmill.
Rings a vague bell. I'll normally bring wood home in rounds then chip away at it over subsequent days which makes it more like recreation.
Manual log splitting is very therapeutic when you’ve had a bad day at work and your boss has been annoying you.
And besides I only burn 2 cord a year plus help my dad with his 1 cord. Noodling is what I do if it’s too hard to split.

Manual splitting is a good part of an exercise routine!
Your kidding, right???
When Obama was in the Fed Reserve had to keep interest rates near 0 for an unprecedented 8 years to keep the economy from going into the crapper. Too much regulation, too high taxes.
Trump reduced regs and taxes and the Fed Red immediately starting increasing interest rates. Plus, Trump's employment #s are dramatically better, especially for minorities. He also had much broader wage gains, not just the rich getting richer. This whole impeachment thing is because Trump actually did everything the Democrat's promised but did not do, and they know they can't beat him in an election.
In Auditing they teach you not to pay attention to what people say, pay attention to what they do … and the results of what they do. That is what matters.
Please keep the political over in the right forum, Political and Religion, posting stuff like this just sullies up a nice clean site.
They trimmed a line just down the rd from our home, ends up I saw some of the wood I was thinking could be hackberry down there.
Maybe you guys could argue about that and take the politics to another channel, pretty sure that isn't the point of the thread.
Shades for size.
The great thing is I didn't have to cut mine down to get these pictures.

I need to start doing more swinging, and less levering. Especially with all this dead ash I’ve been cutting and splitting for firewood.

I think I’m gonna go distance myself into the woods for a bit with a saw or two...
Just a warning from a trusted source guys. If you need anything from the store that you were going to get at a later time it may be easier to do that sometime today .

Grabbed the 445 and finished the box elder. The stump end was a beotch all twisted and tensioned. Cut it off low then finished. Worked out good enough.
Oh man my chains loose. Will somebody catch it?
Quick covefe and drag brush. Woot woot!

Candlebark has an air-dry density of 740kg/m which is similar to sugar maple. Also burns very cleanly but you do want to knock the bark off it because it is thick and about 105% ash by weight.

Since the cutting had been so easy I figured I might as well split it onsite. It was splittable but it is harder going than some other eucalypts like peppermint. I started to slow down a bit once I was half way through but having started I wanted to finish.

Then loading up the ute and trailer when pretty knackered already wasn't much fun but got there eventually. A little under two cubes loaded and prolly another cube or so split and I'll hopefully pick that up on Tuesday.

Bucked some cherry yesterday, also cut a few cookies the idea crossed my mind to collect all my cherry cookies and use them as a “smoker” on the charcoal as I bbq. Toss a cookie or two on as I begin to cook and let the smoke enhance the flavor. Worth a try at least.

Cubic meter. So 39 point some odd inches cubed.. blah blah blah, some math stuff, comes out to just over a facecord. Be a good 5.5' pickup box full.
Unless an Aussie cube is different than a Canuck cube. Lol.

HA,,, good advice!!! I went to the meat/produce store in town about 11:00,,, it has two parking lots back and front,,, back is closer for me... Line at teh register is half way thru teh store!!!! So I walked down the empty aisle, to get some meat,,, they had what I wanted,,, but ALL the sacks of potatoes,,, all the milk, and other dairy products are gone,,,Just a warning from a trusted source guys. If you need anything from the store that you were going to get at a later time it may be easier to do that sometime today
I went to the front register, and the cashier was standing there alone, twiddlin her thumbs!!!! Bet I wasn't in teh store 5 minutes, and teh cashier was teh only one I got within 5 feet of... I asked her if she was bored, as teh back of teh store was nuts to butts 30-40 deep!!!!
The most dangerous thing about this flu, is people are just too freakin stupid to keep it from spreading!!!!
I got back in the truck, washed my hands in alcohol and drove home!!!!!
