Sawing rounds sucks. It's a bunch of noise and fuel because they won't cooperate in coming apart. I always feel like I lost the game when a saw has to come out to smallify the wood.

What wedges do you use Burnham? I like the conical wedges for the first set, then use typical wedges breaking down the rest. Easier to get set, and sometimes you get lucky and get multiple splits, which I think is the design goal, but hardly ever works.

What's the end goal? The crack could end up looking pretty good in the finished product. I have a hard time envisioning what a log will look like. Cut it, and see if magic happens.

Dunno about that. Nothing wrong with truck beds, but nothing goes with decor except the stuff that does. You should make a test piece, throw it up on whatever market you like, and see what the interest is. A table can be made fairly inexpensively with pipe fittings. That's a look a lot people...

That looks fantastic! Is that water or oil? Will the color last?

I posted this somewhere around here...

It kinda bugs me seeing firewood wrapped in plastic. If I were selling there's no way I wouldn't use sisal twine unless I was recycling poly twine from hay bales. I'd have to play with it to see if it would work, but soaking sisal twine in wax or oil might make a good firestarter for some added...

I'd try to get that second ring out that looks like it wants to go, and make the tube into a critter house.

That wood looks like a real bastard. Ever use maul+wedges? I find it's easier with nasty wood. Maybe no fewer swings, but you don't get stuck axes either, which gets really infuriating after awhile. You ever oil your axes? Climate here's way different than you, but oil seems to keep everything...

Isn't alcohol hygroscopic? The mechanism that makes sense to me is the alcohol pulls the water out of the wood, and the alcohol then evaporates from the wood fast, speeding drying. Maybe that's what you said/meant; dunno. How does that affect the wood's natural oils? Does it matter?

Crazy checking there.
