Enjoy the time you have cutting with your son.
My boys still talk about our wood cutting forays. Some days, we spent the entire day working. Others, we intended to work but ended up working a few hours and spending the rest of the day shooting .22's, bows or just cooking up some backstrap, from a recent deer hunt, and sitting around discussing life.
They're grown with their own families now and have moved away.
I really miss those days, they were special.
I'm now a one man band and even though I love being in the woods and running my saws, there's something missing, that is gone forever.
Enjoy the time with your son, those are days that will define the man he becomes.

Thanks for the kind words. I still remember cutting wood with my dad. He used to change my diaper in the woods I was so little. I still remember loading his 1976 F250 to the top of the side boards he had made. I remember the first time he let me run a saw, an old Pioneer. I also remember the time he threw a Mac in the river because it wouldn't start! Great memories with my dad. He is still burning wood, but I am starting to have take over the cutting duties. He still splits by hand so I hand pick the 10-12" red oak for him.

Missed out on this load. Hard to beat ash! If your not in and out before the ground thaws around here, ain't no getting out, 4wd don't matter and a tractor is questionable. Stihl 044 and 026 got a small workout.

How does a redneck “relax” on a Sunday...

I climbed it and cut off the branches that were closest to the house, then wedged her over....

You sure did. Looks like a mighty fine job you did there. Nice looking cuts on the butt of the tree there too.

I think I started the back cut a little to high....

It was getting my heart rate up some...there is just something about wedging over a tree that could fall into your house that gets the nerves going....

I could just tell that somewere the boss was looking out the window at me LOL!!!

Well I would probably have pulled it over. That would have made me nervous also.

Saving the noodles makes excellent fire starter and chicken bedding as well as saving your back.

Not a truer word spoken. Mine will be 18 in June and that time has come.

Since I'm pretty much solo now, I found this tool to help hold logs/limbs. Been working my pile over , cutting small stuff first.

I have one too but it was a gift to me and it's a cheaper unit. I bent it a little twice so I don't use it much. I think it was from Tractor Supply Co. Have you seen the LogOx? The co. co-owner is on FHC. Nice tool!

 

[titanman6100]

thats the first time i saws that one looks like its well made and would keep you from bending over thats the nice part

 

[Mag Craft]

Awesome!
Mag, can you show a couple close up shots of your show horse?
That looks like a design that would work for me.
Not being the most gifted man with my mitts...I need all the help I can get!!

Here is a few pics of the saw horse.

Looks like a cherry for sure. If I was standing there I’d know if that’s it

 

[Wolverine]

Well fellas what do you think this?

Smell's like?

 

[jakethesnake]

If it is it’s top notch firewood. I hunt them here smell nice in the air burning.
