Upon seeing some real uglies on here, this is only a bit ugly, but I'll share..... :)

I suspect that some of the long timers are getting tired of it.;) I whip it out on request. (more innuendo?)

Had some white oak a couple weeks ago that looked pretty close CMAG's post above. Made them into stove chow, but should take some pics. Fugly. Nice thing about my splitter...if it don't split it, it will cut it. If it doesn't cut it, it will CRUSH it.::-)
Nah, we need to be reminded once a year why it is wise to pass Elm up.

A friend of my son has been trying to give an Elm that he dropped two years ago away for free. He says they call but never show up. I guess he tells them it's Elm, and that's the end of the conversation. He offered it to us, and at the time I didn't know it was Elm that was so stringy. Learned it here and saved a bunch of unnecessary screamin', cussin' and jumpin' around all mad. :mad:

Awesome! The new editor is up already, and now I can add emoticons while using my iPad. Nice job, Craig.:)

Here's my entries . . . some of these will be going to the camp fire/burn pit pile. My feeling: they're ugly, but they're also BTU whether it be in a woodstove or in a campfire.

Doesn't look like much, but with the combination of a 'corkscrew' like grain and a few cross branches, this piece of hedge took out another maul handle. At least I got almost a full cord out of this handle! I started splitting some by hand just for the workout, but at this rate, it's probably cheaper to get a gym membership!
