I’m only working on it when I’m not too busy at work, if it’s sunny outside and I don’t feel like doing something else, so it’s not rising all that quickly. Still, slowly but surely, it’s going up 🙂

Here’s another view from the center of it - which will probably be the last time I can go there to setup the camera, as it’s getting too high to step inside, and I need to start filling it up with wood anyway:

    Super jealous of the amount of timber for splitting

    I had a dozen trees felled on the property last fall, and I didn’t know what to do with all the wood. Now I know: splitting wood is a good, healthy physical activity. When I’m done with that lot, I’ll have more firewood than I’ll need for a few years, so I might sell some of it and buy more unsplit timber just for the sport.

    Could you tell us what tools your are using and how often you’re sharpening them?

    Just a maul and a hatchet. I don’t sharpen them 🙂 I’m doing this to sweat outside, I don’t need to be efficient, so it’s fine. I suppose at some point they’ll be blunt enough that I’ll bother sharpening them. But at the moment, the edges are dull enough to press a thumb on with some gusto safely and they still split wood well enough for my taste.
