First Sucessful Scronge

Good comment on the Guy thing. I'll be more careful in the future. Just last night I was taking with a friend who was telling me about his girlfriend's ability to help him with all aspects of acquiring wood (fell, cut, slit and stack) so I won't make that assumption agian.

Thanks for all the feedback, especially on the importance of chain sharpening and the feedback on that subject.

Also, I have a couple of mauls I split with and broke a handle on one and the head flew off on the other while I was splitting the other day. I'm in the process of fixing both but was wondering what hand splitting devises are recommended by ya'll. I was at Lowes today buying another wood handle and looked at a True Temper 4 Lb. Super Wood Splitter with 36" Fiberglass Handle which I almost got but have heard that the fiberglass handles can get brittle and break easily in the cold?

For hand splitting a lot of guys swear by the Fiskars Splitting Ax . . . they are pricey, but I believe near indestructible and folks say they work very well . . . of course nothing quite beats a hydraulic splitter.

Alfred huh . . . yeah . . . Northern Massachusetts . . . but I won't hold that against ya.
