SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[two4spooky]

Rhetorical question: The answer is "YES!!!" I have an issue regarding axes

2 below 0 here in Iowa this morning but no wind so I got some cutting and splitting done. Had two Cherry blow overs that have been off the ground, barkless and drying. Cherry usually splits easily and this was no exception. The Keen Kutter is a 5 lbs felling axe and the smaller one is a 3.5 lbs Hults Bruk that I rehung (House Handle Co) with hitting wedges in mind. Neither work as well for splitting as the Fiskars X25 but to be fair they aren’t really designed for it. This wood will go right in the boiler. Already tossed the root balls in.

"2 below 0". You Northerners are crazy. We are hitting mid-20's with wind chill in the teens in the South. I want to crawl in a hole and hide with this coldness. Too much cold for me to be outside, employer excepted and required. Kudo's to you!!! I would not make it at those temps. I have no interest in anything done outside at these temps. I prefer my basement till it warms up
