Firewood.

Today was firewood accumulation day. Many thanks to Kent for providing a nice oak to cut up and split. He even helped out with cutting it up. The fairly large tree was damaged during a storm and was threatening to come down on the road and power lines. A local tree removal service felled it under contract with the power company. That left a nice log for us to go to work on. I recently picked up a "like new" Husqvarna from Lowes that was marked down to almost 1/2 new price. It was sitting outside along with some other returned power equipment. It was returned for some sort of repair etc but still had 1 year factory warranty on it. Today offered a great opporunity to put it to a good test. It performed flawlessly! Below you will see the saw etc....


The Husky Model 359 with 20" bar.
Original new price at Lowes was around 490.00
I picked it up at the reduced price of 250.00!



A gas wood-splitter would have been nice...


Go Kent!


It was a rather chilly day so I, of course, consumed large amounts of coffee!
