Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Be Stihl]

Finished bucking up the oak and hickory wind falls I started on a week ago. My first day off and my wife said your going to cut wood? Well it’s got to get done, now to split, transport and stack it.

Amur cork tree?

I can't find a pic of a cut/split log from this tree... bark looks similar, but is tan/ light brown,...

Found a nice little shed..

I used to have a border collie that ran free. She found sheds all the time. My yard was so full you had to pick them up to mow. None of them was pretty she would eat them down to the base and go get another.

Hi Guys,,,
Picked up a couple of these small logs this morning,,, figured it may be Locust,, can anyone confirm? There's a bit more of it,,,
Thanks...

Not Spruce !!!


Sorry I'm late .

From what I’ve read mice like them too. That dog would eat them like kibble. Bet at one time I had over 100 gnawed sheds.

Dug a little deeper and came up with 1 more.


That's my floor. I sanded it bare again. Not happy with this result either. Used the low voc 1 step stuff. Just gonna use real oil stain and polyurathane. I can live with the smell awhile. But can't live with this. Stuff dries way to fast to maintain any kind of wet edge. Guess I should have known better. But the promise of fast dry times and no fumes seduced me.

Well, pre hydrating tonight for tomorrow’s scrounging. Watching my little one “paint”.

Mark, the more you post..... Bikes, Hunting, Knives...... you could be a long lost relative of Mustangs and Mine.

Nate, I love the repurposed horse trailer. There’s a dual axle “home made” trailer on our local Craigslist for $500. Looks like it was once a horse trailer (my sister had a horse and the wheels look just like pops old trailer). I’ve often daydreamed about grabbing it and converting/making a dump trailer outta it.

Uncle @MustangMike, looks great. Definitely moving along! What saw have you been using the most?

and I can’t remember who mentioned cutting alone and first aid, but I wear chaps and a helmet and gloves. But I’ll add, God forbid something happens to me, just stick a fork in me and call me done. I got enough insurance.... wife is still hot enough to find a new guy.... Kids will be just fine!

Watching my artist make “art”. I actually like the hand one.

 

[MustangMike]

I guess the 462, but the 044 and MOFO 360 work just as well. The 462 does not need to be tuned, and you don't need to clean the air filter all the time.

Dont think my wife would have a problem with the men if I kicked. She can handle a saw and rides her own motorcycle

Good job pal! My pals tease me all the time they can’t understand how I got my wife. My answer, I make her laugh.....
