[AT] OT - Wood chopping clip

[charlie hill]

Yeah I agree, the stuff he was splitting and putting in the frames or racks 
is what
we would call stove wood like folks used to cut for a wood cook stove.  I 
thought
the question was about the match stick size pieces.  I figured it just cut 
that up to
show off the machines capabilities but it would work well to split up heart 
pine for
kindling.

Fortunately I can still swing a maul but I don't know how much longer I'll 
last.  LOL.
With any luck this economy will turn around some and I won't need to burn 
wood to
same  money in years to come.

Charlie,
     Gotta be.  I can see no reason that I would split a nice fire log
into any more than quarters, and usually just in half.  I was not
referring to those little matchstick ones he made.  I start my fires
with a little pine split up into small, but an armload lasts all
winter.   I only start the fire once a day, if that.
     I burn elm when I can find it.  Pretty scarce in these parts, too.
Twisted up, stringy stuff that I would not attempt to split without a
hydraulic splitter.  Dang near impossible to stack after split, too.
     You can have that splitting maul and keep it.  My shoulders would
not allow that thing around.
