Sometimes the saw sits — this time surgery kept me out of the game for a while. But last week I stacked and split, and this week it was time to make sure the thing still starts. — It did — first time.

I had a recalcitrant big, heavy ole round that didn't want to succumb to the axe (I'm sure it would have eventually) but, what the hey ... I just felt like noodling anyway! It's fun, it makes the saw happy and the engine warm in a hurry.
Plus I was bummed the Rangers lost to the Capitals, so it was time to hit the wood pile...
This one was a little tricky, being longer than my 16" (18") blade ... once I got about 2/3 of the way through, I took the fiskars to it to finish it off.
Darn lovely piece of tree--should be furniture not firewood, mostly almost as white as the driven snow, inside — very heavy, 100# in a 16x18" round. Smelled very nice and creamy too. Almost too nice to split!
Could have mixed the noodles with olive oil and garlic and eaten them almost they looked so fresh and appetizing, but of course, it's wood, so ... NOT! I guess I must have been hungry. So then I lit up the BBQ, but that's another story ...
