I've managed to make some reall...You're not alone. I've managed to make some really, <I>really</I> nice pieces of firewood this week. <BR/><BR/>First I had a thirty pound piece of birch heartwood explode (and knock me on my ass). Then I had a really cool spalted piece split at the base, I fixed it and damned if it didn't do it again. Then I had a lid for a turned jewelry box split in two pieces and fly across the shop. And last, yesterday, I had a spalted finale explode (rotten bark line in the neck I didn't notice until too late) and the finale (about the size of a door knob) missed my head by a whisker.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I've got some really nice firewood this week.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.com
