Finally Finished Splitting Firewood

[Merkel]

One of my neighbors cut down several oak, hickory, ash and maple trees and gave me a car trailer load of wood.  Most of it was 28”-30” rounds.  Spent an hour every few days manually splitting with wedges and sledge hammer. Finished up with, what I guess is about 3 cords. Not bad for an old man.

Agreed; I’ve split wood before but never that much.  You’re absolutely right, it’s good exercise.  On the plus side, I should not have any problems dragging out deer this season - LOL

There's no "Finished" with firewood, what's wrong with you???  Use the F word again and you're getting a timeout buster!

Splitting firewood is one of the few things that helps my back.

I have a three year supply at all times. As I use it I replace it. I have about half of last winters wood spit stacked and drying  already. I should be complete before bow season starts.

Lot of work great exercise .My back cant handle it any more.

Nice work Merkel. Without a doubt it's great exercise. 

Which is why several of us let @Rustyknow when a deer is down at one of our cull hunts. He SPRINGS into action-dragging with one arm and a cold one in the other hand.

LOL … I’m not in Rusty’s league but I think I’m in better shape to drag a deer out of the woods this coming season …… I hope …..

I split this today to make Rusty feel like all is right in the world. Even took the bark off.
