Ah the joys of saws, my 880 has just gone to the dealer for the second time for warranty work, and only after about 10-12 tanks through it. Gone beyond disappointed at this stage
Happy New Year fellow scroungers !!!
I'm a little afraid that may happen with the ax throwing! It's straight grained and easy splitting - the maple I gave him had a twist in the grain of almost 45°.Even made another ax throwing target to take to my buddy tonight.
Now if your really good you could do some maul throwing and split the lot up
Jeff
If I'm thinking of splitting by throwing the maul I suppose I should stack the rounds so the splits end up stacked too.
Happy New Year scroungers. May your year be filled with more wood than you can cut and split.
Snow here today to start off the year , yesterday to finish off the year I put together another woodrack by the door and filled it so now there's about 1 1/2 cord by the door
I had to do an intown run yesterday afternoon , I spotted a 1/2 ton parked on the side of the highway ,no one around , thot to myself "Strange place to park , not there for ice fishing , might be broke down or he's scrounging firewood " .
Sure enough , on the way back the truck's still there parked beside a little green belt of spruce and firs that was spared by a forest fire several years ago .
When I got closer a fella pops out from the wall of green with a 6' stick of wood and throws it in his truck , he was headed back in the wall of green when I checked my rearview mirror lol

Are you having a go at the dark hedges then? Lol. I didn't see many 880 worthy trees when I was over there.

well it's better to have it and not need it, rather than to need it and not have it.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
Ran into a row of sugar maple out of my stacks. I forgot how nuclear that stuff is when it is burnt alone! 1400 degrees in a lick of time. Good timing as it was -12 last night and already -3 tonight.

Looking good but it's not Blue!
No, this is one of the older kits in the traditional color scheme.
If anyone is in the Elkton ,Maryland area there is a ad on Baltimore Craigslist for free 10-15 cords of treetops. [email protected]

Meanwhile my 20yr old + Hoosky will be out cutting wood today whilst yours is back in again for it's regular visit to the dealer for yet again another pep talk to make it run.
And my Hoosky's never had to go to a saw doctor to help it work, it just starts and gets stuck in year after year

a bit of brand bashing every now and again is needed to shake this place upMeanwhile my 20yr old + Hoosky will be out cutting wood today whilst yours is back in again for it's regular visit to the dealer for yet again another pep talk to make it run.
