I might need a pill to get as hard as some of this wood, but I swear I do get a woodie spliting good oak. Man the stuff weighs a ton and beats you up getting it cut and in the truck, but the stuff splits like a dream. Paul will appreciate at the same time I'm working in getting a good lag to develop that power off the tee. I'm old school, love to get at the splitting ax and have at it.

I agree. Splitting wood does help your golf game. I'm using a 10# splitting maul.

No boat, back in the suds.

Seems you have to be retired to have the time to "harvest" all this wood......

You got that right, been burning wood in one Vermont casting wood stove or another since the 80’s but only since I retired did I have the time. It good exercise and obviously I’m saving money.

Picked up several bed fulls of Bruce's downed maple from last year, thanks again Bruce and good to see you again. I forgot that router bit I was going to give you, we can hook up down the road. I haven't attempted splitting the base and first eight feet of that bad boy, but it made a great splitting platform.
