Lumberjack Bud

Yesterday Bud had an interesting day of work. He was able to borrow a wood splitter from someone and split up some of the wood that was left from the tree that we had cut down. A wood splitter is an interesting machine. I thought it would make more noise and be a bit more messy but not so. It just takes a wedge and forces it into the block of wood. Of course it is much easier than doing it with an ax but it still was a lot of lifting and hauling wood.
This is the pile of wood that he worked on. He still had some wood to split when he had to give the splitter back but it is a much more manageable pile. We probably have enough wood for several years of fireplace wood. We really don't burn it that much.
