The Wood Warms You Twice, as the saying goes

Rich and I finally got to work on the red oak tree we felled 2004 January, sawed it into logs and began splitting it.  Fortunately, a slight bend in the trunk held much of the trunk off the ground so not much rot had encroached, little heat value lost.  This photo shows most of the logs sitting where the tree fell, we'd already split ~four logs.


Here's Rich's Volvo and our Trooper loaded with ~six logs worth of split firewood.  Rich had already taken the ~four logs worth home a day prior.
