Wood's Tougher Than Woodpecker Lips...
I like the taper and curvature to the handle...glad it busted wood for ya. I'd sure like it in a 36" version.Managed to get out today and scrounged up a load of hardwood and spruce .
Went back and got another load , this one will be cut up short and split up for sellin kindlin .
Split up a some maple and white birch with the new splitter but those rounds proved not to be a challenge at all .
I had some yellow birch , stringy and a bit more work so ,
Even did a bit from that kiln dried tree
I like the new splitter

Details on the axe please. Quit leaving us in suspense! Price? Handle length? How does it compare to the X27?

Musk, quit scarring them Husky boys!!! Nice pumpkins there!
IMO, nothing over loads my trailer as fast as Red Oak, and not much slows my saw down as fast as Hickory. When I took down that Red Oak and Hickory at my friend Harold's house, he remarked "that Hickory really slows the saw down", and everyone knows Oak is not easy to cut.
Will be doing a different kind of scrounge tomorrow. A friend of my brother's is going to move down South, and is getting rid of some plywood and a Metal door & frame, will be perfect for the Hunting Cabin!!! Patience is often rewarded!
Went with the Grandkids to a Military Surplus thing today, and also took some pics of Quaker Ridge, where I typically go on my bike rides. Enjoy!

Did you make that axe,Dan? Looks like a RonCo creation to me! Nice job!! LOL
LOL
Same length as the x25 and feels like the same weight , I think I read 1955 grams but I don't know if it's the head or whole thing , if you search polyamide splitting maul you'll find it .
MSRP up here is $109.95 but I can only say that I got mine at cost .
The handle is a little wider than the x25 which may prove tougher but I've not had any issues with the x25 .
Initial thots are that I like it more than the x25 , time will tell .

I have been busy getting ready for winter. My favorite helper running the leaf blower
Then we went on our first scouting trip. It was the longest she stayed quite. She was busy looking for deer.

It's 1:00 and I'm already back from checking 9 of our stands this morning. A few need work so that's on the agenda this afternoon.
One of my stands had a bunch of small oaks cluttering up the shooting lanes. I dropped and limbed them. Only had enough rope to drag one at a time so this one came home first. About 5 more this size out there.

I'm in Montgomery county, some beautiful country out your way, I have some family out in Lancaster county!
Thanks for the warm welcome fellas, hopefully I'll be able to post some more pics in here, looking at a 16' dual axle trailer later today

got logs pulled across the woods for easy loading today, but the fellow who was supposed to show didn't.
he asked me the other day if i had it all cut and ready. i said no why? do you want me to split it for you too?
i figure its free he should have to do something for it!
anyhow, i used my new to me taco skidder! look in the widowmaker thread for the pic.
i was surprised in just how much that little 4 cyl, would pull.

Long day but good day.
Checked 9 of my deer stands, did minor repairs on one, and major repairs on another. Opened up a couple new shooting lanes based on where I had previously seen the deer moving. One of my stands overlooks a beaver pond and I cut a lane right to the pond's waterline. The beaver had been very active on that side so I'm sure he's cleaning up the small aspen I cut as I type this.
Shortly before dark I loaded up a bunch of Norway Pine that I noodled/split this spring and brought it home. Stacked what I could in the rack and piled the rest before heading back to the hunting cabin.
Tomorrow morning my FIL is coming up so we can put up a new stand at a spot I scouted today.

9 deer stands are they all for you? Or is that just the number of stands for all the hunters at the cabin?
