Paying the heating bill.
Set up a nice firewood station now. The three-limbed stump makes a good log sawing stand.
Also rolled the old chopping block over there, shortened it a bit (it was too tall even for a tall person) and split the logs I collected from clearing the road.
The apple logs were in full sap (result of overly warm January) and frozen hard - the axe just bounced off. They'll have to thaw first.
Could use a slightly heavier axe.
@yngmar I have a fiskars and it really works great.
@elliot What weight do you use?
@yngmar It's in storage, and I don't remember. around 3-4 kg? what makes the most observable difference is the hollow handle. I can swing it faster and with more accuracy.
