Cutting wood this past weekend... 2-3 more truckloads and I should be good for this coming winter. Then I can get a head start on next year. Anyhow had my first barber chair experience. It was a heavy forward leaner. Any particular method to cut this down without barber chairing? I knew it might happen and was very cautious. Luckily it gave me some snap crackle pop a few seconds before it went so I was able to pull the saw out and stand back. She split up the center and the free half shot back a couple of feet. Wow thats a lot of force. Good part about it... about a third of all the bigger chunks were already split in half for me! Oh and I got about a whole years worth of kindling too! Sorry no pics, both my cameras kicked the bucket this year. It was a nice cherry, probably 18" at the base.
