Somehow I am reminded of Huckleberry Finn and a fence painting party. :lol:
 
well, it was a drinking party originally with fun and games ( no lectures please :) ) , but a friend saw the maul in the corner of my shed and well......... it turned into a macho man competition!
 
It appears that it is a Monster Maul which would make it even more macho. I can't even lift one of those suckers anymore.

that it its.... that it is.....

75% beer muscles though!
 
Cool! I figured it was an event like you said in second post. Who splits at night? (actually, I do when I'm having a dispute with wife). Well, at least you'll share some of the labor.
 
Hey guys, watch this! Hell, even the photographer's safety was in jeopardy. Glad I wasn't there. Maybe 30 or 40 years ago, but not anymore. Rick
 
Looks like a party to me! I hope you all stayed away from the chainsaw! Are you gonna have them all back next week to finish?
 
ill have to finish . have about 3+ cords of rounds i have to split still ...... ugh....
 
Who is the guy in the blue shirt with the BIG arms? He looks like he should be in the wrestling ring by his size. ;-P

Well I could use a buddy like that, I am 6'1 and weigh around 250 and I don't have arms like him :roll:

But then again, I am old now. ;-P

Way to go WoodButcher, LOL...I remember those days fondly.
 
'Course I'm wondering if this wood mauling party was fueled by an excessive amount of alcoholic beverages if . . .

a) the maul came up missing the next morning, but was eventually found embedded 20 feet up in a nearby pine tree or

b) the guys split up 2 cords of wood within an hour or so . . . but promptly burned up 1.78 cords of that wood by dumping it on to the nearby bon fire.

:) ;)
 
actually Jake ,

its gonna be a 2 part answer.

yes, excessive drinking led to increased conceived bicep size and wood blasting abilities.

yes, the stubborn knot pieces ended up in the inferno where all the sane party-goers were at . it was a shame to throw good oak in there.... but they had to be punished ! :)

The last time I attempted a maul party, I sent a piece of red oak into my fanclubs shin.

I don't let anyone stand within 30 ft. of me when I'm using Thumper (monster maul clone) ... or any other ax, maul, or sledge. I've had Thumper, and the super-splitter maul, slip out of my hands and fly (past my knees by inches). That could do some serious damage.

Peace,

As soon as I seen the pictures I knew drinking was involved! lol My friends and I have had that look many times. :)
