<p>From the picture it looks like the tree was cut back at some
time. All those limbs growing out where the limb was cut off
before. That looks like a real chore to me. And that Bois 'd Arc
is also hard as nails too.</p>

into the ground: At least the saw itself hadn’t been on the
receiving end of all that energy. The bar took a beating
but I had a spare in the shop, so I was back in business
today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

stove where it’s safely behind the doors, but even there I
have to be careful when opening the stove to feed in more
wood or even when opening the ash pan door… the sudden rush
of air sometimes precipitates a frenzy of sparks that shoot
out all over the place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
